2G Car hesitates to crank

[John Mark Dongon]

It cranks for a brief moment, than hesitates by spinning slowly and repeats. It won't continuasly spin. My timing marks are good and I just charged my battery..

A battery may charge but what is your cranking voltage?

Mine does that also.. it will crank slow one then fast and then finally turn over..

Gotta check your connections for corrosion. Last time I had this happen, my battery is in the trunk, the ground wire attached to the chassis was rusty. Took it off, cleaned it with a wire wheel, and put a new screw, problem solved. So make sure all your connections are clean, and all nuts/bolts are tight for positive and grounds is a good place to start.

Do you know how many ground points there are on a 1g eclipse gsx? Or is that a stupid question and a bunch of people gonne bi*** that i asked that? Lol

, well, how bout starting with the ones that get power from the battery to the starter. Battery cables (power and ground) and starter (power and ground). Make sure all that shit is tight and rust free.
