A low battery can make the starter crank slowly. Another thing that can cause this is bad grounding. Check the ground strap(s) from your motor to your chasis. Unfasten it at each end and clean the connectors and the area where the strap connects. Make sure the strap(s) are not overly frayed. If it is replace it.

Why Truck will not crank but battery juice is good?
Sounds like a starter issue. Bad wire to the starter could cause it.
What if your car does not crank?
Could be a dead battery, broken starter, broken solonoid, or an electrical problem like a broken wire, or fuse.

Starter motor going bad. The starter motor is the first electrical device inline from the battery.

it sounds more like you have a starter problem itself if it doesn`t crank. also check your battery and cables.
Why would the battery come on but the engine not crank over on a 1994 Buick Park Avenue?
you have two systems that turn over a motor it could be your battery but it sounds like the starter or something in that system like the silinoid or starter relay or it could be just a loose or damaged wire.
When i start my 93 sable it delayed like it didnt want to start then when i tried again it dont do anything but i have power for lights could it be my starter or something else?
did it actually crank over or did it kinda crank then click it sounds like maybe the battery doesn't have enough power but if your sure it does i'd guess its your starter. or the selinod
1987 Volvo 740 GLE runs great when it will crank up started to not crank on accasion but if you left it for a few hours it would crank right up Now the starter turns the motor will not crank up why?
Sounds like your battery is at the end of its useful life. You need a new one.
What does the starter on a Chevrolet Cobalt look like?
The starter motor is behind the crank pulley on the passenger side. This is not a driveway job. You'll need a lift and a few special tools if you're trying to replace it your self.

Have the starter tested at your auto parts store. Sounds like a bad solenoid or bad starter.
92 Geo Metro 3-cyl ran fine then 4 hours later wouldn't start The battery is fine - solonoid engages starter The dash lights went out shortly after trying to crank it over - any ideas where to start?
Look for a battery connection problem; your dash lights went out due to this also. Yes, the solenoid will engage starter but without the proper amount of power the starter will not crank over; just click .I hope this helps you. Mark sounds too me like you may make a short some place. first check your fuse box under your dash and then check the fuse box that is under your hood.
On a 1991 Lexus LS400- the battery the alternator and the starter is new and the problem still persists - it won't crank and when it does I have to step on the gas pedal to get going- the problem?
