Except that if everything is in good order as per Ford's specs, it will start every time.
The heating of the resistor is a time thing. If the key is turned off the resistor will cool and the higher voltage will again be available to the coil immediately after the key is turned on. Under normal circumstances a hot engine will still fire up on the 4 1/2 volts.
