Don't know what the F my car's problem is!!!
 
Ok, So I had a pretty bad coolant leak, right then I knew it was my waterpump. So I got in my car and drove it to where I was going to work on it (30 feet). Turned off the car and started working on it, changed out the waterpump. Sucess!!!. And I also found out that the fan was spraying my plug wires with water and coolant and making the wires ark. So I also changed out my wires. Got in my car to start it up, but all I got was very, very, very, slow cranking almost like the battery was dead. So I took the battery over to my local O'reilly's. They tested the battery, and the same one I used to try and start the car was 95% charged. I said WTF? So, I don't know if it could possibly be a bad starter or bad connection to the starter. Who knows? You guys have been really reliable in the past hopefully you can help me this time.
Thanks,
Alex (I searched but found nothing, sorry if I didn't look hard enough)

O'reilly's, Autozone, and Advance can test current delivery while your're cranking. If cold cranking amps is ok and the starter is slow, you probably need new wiring from the starter to the battery & general engine grounds. I'm having the same issue right now, but I'm too lazy to fix it.

Bad connections at the battery, bad grounds, belts too tight?
