1990 LX dies and will not restart when warm!

Already have a new dizzy, TFI module and battery. Cables look like crap. No it wont start with a jump still slow cranks and wont start. Jumping the relay has no effect and still turns slow.

If your car uses the clamp on with two bots terminal repair ends on the battery cables, plan on replacing the cables. They make connections prone to acid damage, corrosion and high resistance connections.

Do the voltage drop check across the cables and connections. That will spot bad cables & connections. If you don't find any cable or connection problems, the starter is suspect.

Took starter off and bench tested a few times it works good. Cables are shot. I'll get some of those tomorrow so I can focus on the dying problem.
