Starter turns very slow intermittent
the car is 89 s5 gxl with a jdm turbo 2 engine and trans. Il start like this i was driving my car back from the gas station and half way back to my house my wiring harness cough on fire i stoped a had a fire extinguisher to put it out. when i got home to make an assessment of the damages, i found my self ready to work on my never ending project, changing my engine wiring harness; and my long wiring harness the one that behind the dash with fuse block. i got the harness from some guys in tx 915 or something like that. i installed both the harness and im close to getting it started, now the problem is that when i crank the car over it turns very slow but it is intermittent, i started with checking the basics battery voltage, i bench tested the starter to make sure it worked and it does and i just got done with the ing switch and still the slow *** crank. i would appreciate any help...

most likely a wiring issue. There are a few things it could be, poor ground (likely), too high of a resistance power cable (more likely).
The solenoid requires a 12v signal from the key (the skinny one), so make sure it is getting a good signal.
Using a multimeter you can check the resistance in the main power wire (the fat one) to the starter
make sure the battery terminals are tight and the battery is fully charged!
