crank and doens't start.

It cranks but does not good enough to start the car.

It cranks like 3-4 cycles, then doesn't crank anymore.

I had 2 starter.

I tried both of them but did the same thing.

Check your battery for juice.

Is it stops cranking after 3 or 4 rotations, I'd guess the battery isn't putting out enough power to get it spinning fast enough to run. But if the battery is drained, you'll have to deal with figuring out why it drained after you do get it started.

Is it a manual? If it is, push start it to make sure it'll run, and see if it has enough power to keep itself running. This will basically be a charging system test to make sure the alternator is charging the battery.

Only other thing I can think of is check the plugs to make sure they're ok, and it wouldn't hurt to change them anyway.

check the battery, plugs, plug wires...

i had starting/flooding problems and i thought it was my injectors but really my "autocraft" battery was just really shitty and even on a full charge it still cranked like ****. luckily dee had an optima lying around so i bought it off him and he stuck it in and it started immediately.
