cranking heavy
 

hey guys i hope someone can help me. my rx has been down for a while now, cause when i go to start it, it cranks heavy. sometimes it cranks normally. if i put a battery charger to it it will start right away most of the time. i replaced the starter, could it have gone bad again? where are the grounds located? other than that little problem it runs fine. i sure hope to have it running before February. any help from yall would be nice. anyone in satx e mail me. :confused:

well if its been sitting for awhile and cranks slow until u put a charger in it, i'll bet ur battery isnt in good shape. try a new batt.

battery????
 

no not the battery. already got a new one. still cranks heavy, and sometimes normal. :cool:

I suspect a weak connection from the battery to the starter.
Battery clamps, cable terminals, even internal cable corrosion.
The rule is clean shiny bright metal-to-metal contact.

Feel the primary (thick) wires after trying to start.
A weak connection will get warm or even hot.

Do a compression check sounds like a bad rear apex seal .
