when i try starting my car it will turn slowly like if didn't have enough power on the battery if i turn the ignition off and then try again it starts right up...in other cases it will start right up.
i already changed my alternator and started so i know those cant be the problem... could it be bad wiring? or is it my spark plugs and wires the problem?.:confused:
any sugestions would help alot and thanx in advance.
 
Try cleanin' your battery terminals. Make sure they're good and tight. Then check the connection at the starter. It's also possible the starter is goin' bad, but Id bet on the bad connection...
 
And another thing with the battery relocation, Make sure your ground wire isnt ran all the way back up to the front of the car with the power wire. The guy I got my GSX from had done this. :nono:
 
where you grounded the battery to the car did you sand the paint off? Also under the hood where the 4 guage connects to all your wires that were on the positive terminal how is it connected?

yes i sanded the paint off .... as for the starter wire i bolted it to the wire that leads to the back to battery ( didnt have enough money to buy a distributor block)

And another thing with the battery relocation, Make sure your ground wire isnt ran all the way back up to the front of the car with the power wire. The guy I got my GSX from had done this. :nono:

i actually ran two grounds on wire is strait from the started to the fire wall where the stock connection bolts to it along with the new ground wire... and in the back i added another ground wire of the post to the trunk floor (sanded paint off) so im running two ground points to the car.
 
i took my spark plugs out today and i think they are not the right Ngk at least not the iridium they had a white coat on them so i took a wire brush and cleaned them it seemed to have made a difference so i think the problem might be the plugs and im pretty sure i need new wires to....

im just gana go and get 0gauge wire to be safe.

ill let you all know once i change the plugs if theres a difference.
