slow crank won't start
« on: July 15, 2015, 03:24:32 PM »
Just throwing this out there havent had time to dive into the problem yet but my car is cranking over very slowly, I originally thought it was a battery issue but I put a new one in and still same problem I thought maybe bad connection but I clean and tightened all connections to the battery and the starter, does this sound like maybe a bad battery cable or is it simply the starter going bad.  If I hook up a charger and crank up the volts the car fires right up but only then.

Check your grounds. Battery ground to engine. Ground engine to frame. I don't know if you have rubber mounts (motor) but they don't help at all when it comes to completing wiring circuits. lol
