slow crank

[rudy herrera]

a while ago i notice that when i would start my car in the morning it will start fine then after driving it when i would want to start it again it would crank realy slow you could here the motor being turn over but its to slow to start it it turns on but its just the cranking is realy slow people told it could be the starter but i replaced it already so thats not the probel any ideas

Do you have Long tube headers?

What is the condition of the battery and starter cables? Heat builds resistance, so the cold cable might be able to start the car, but once hot the cable is too resistive.

no i dot have long tubes they look normal i mean the wires are dirty but other than that they look fine

The battery cables need to really be looked at and touched. If they crunch when they bend, that's a bad sign. If you have doubts, replace yours.

Starter cables, like battery cables, can rot from the inside out. The best indicator that's safe and easy to do (other than a visual inspection) is a voltage-drop test while cranking (esp cold cranking and cranking while the starter is hot and cranking slowly).

I'd put a tester on the battery to see if it's on it's way out

Add some grounds. I added one from battery to block and body, and body to block. It really helped my car start up faster, I later replaced the battery cables and that made it even better. Best part is that the wires and connectors are super-cheap at Kragen.
