I have a wierd starting problem.
I get in the car in the morning and it starts fine, after driving to work 30 minutes it sounds like it is struggling to start but starts up every time. If I drive the car allll day and cut it off then start it up it will struggle to turn the starter but always starts
The next morning it always starts up fine with no struggle.
Things I have done
1.) New battery , dips to 11 while starting no less
2.) Starter is 6 months old, tests good at AutoZone
3.) Removed all old wiring from a previous car alarm, this fixed most of my starting problems.
4.) Starter is properly grounded to engine via bolt.
5.) Alternator is charging properly verified through ecmlink logs and for my old battery tested before replacing. Said it was 100%, I assumed it was a battery problem but wasn't.
Is there a fuse that could be old or getting hot whole driving?
Could I be missing a ground somewhere?
