Post Problem starting!!

Lately my car has been starting really hard. First I thought it was the battery but it has water and last night I charged it and it didn't help at all. What its doing is cranking really slow. Could it be the starter?? Thanks for any help. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Ahem

Sig says it all.

But in this case I would replace the positive cable as well.

Thanks Sid. I have a suspected ground problem as my temp gauge needle is a bit bouncy these days

Head to the local auto parts. By a battery cable designed for a screw down battery terminal rather than a clamp down. Get it long enough to run to the head and screw it down there off of the connection on the firewall (That's where the battery terminal end should go).

See if that helps. Only temporary as it's not a great solution. Then call Ice. Ifin you want I can take some pictures tomorow of what I did the other day.
