I had this happen a few years back. I had to buy a longer one and route it buy the starter then along the oil pan to steer clear of the headers.

I hate the cables , they are very poorly made , if they were made with a flat wire wrap like a pedal bike shifter cable heat would not bother the cable
 When I become bored & rich I will styart making real cables along with about 100 other badly needed parts & ideas
don`t hold your breath K !!!
