First the quick specs - 2.4 block, 2.0 AEM Cam gears, 2.0 head, FP3x cams (Additional specs are in my profile)
This is the first time trying to start the car from a brand new build. I crank it over and it cranks a few times, but then it will either stop cranking suddenly, or it will bog the entire system down (electrical) and crank VERY slowly. Release the key, then try again, it will either cranks a time or two and do the same thing, or immediately do the same thing.
EDIT:
After troubleshooting again tonight, I have determined it is definitely an electrical issue. Unplugging the coil pack allows the motor to rotate freely and never jam. I will be checking firing order and wiring tomorrow.
