Test C: Engine Cranks Slowly

  1. Ensure battery is in good condition. If problem exists, repair as necessary. If problem does not exist, go to next step.
  2. Inspect wiring system for damage or poor connections at starter motor, starter solenoid, battery and all grounds. If problem exits, repair as necessary. If problem does not exist, go to next step.
  3. Inspect engine and belt drive system for mechanical binding. If engine moves freely, go to next step. If engine does not move freely, repair as necessary.
  4. If the battery, the wiring, and the engine are functioning properly, and the engine continues to crank slowly, replace the starter motor. See STARTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
