replace the starter
Weak battery, starter solenoid, or starter.
Weak battery, starter going bad, or engine out of time.
Could be the rocker arms in the engine, change your oil and if you ever get into the engine check those little SOBs out. ;)
A soft start is a starter that bring a motor from the starting point of a slow speed in to a multiple speed that can be programmed in the starter Imagine you have a big plant in your factory, the voltage will go down/up when the plant start/stop, cause the sharp start/stop The soft starter is controlling AC motor in soft start/stop to eliminate such problems.

Test battery condition, & terminals. If they check out good, check the starter Thanks. I have had several people tell me it is the starter. Apparently GM solenoids overheat which cause the slow cranking. I will buy a new starter and install an aftermarket heat sheild.
Weak battery take voltage reading should be around 12.8 Bad starter (excessive draw) bring to auto parts store to check starter drag Loose or corroded battery cables
Yes, a bad battery can have a negative impact on the starter and potentially lead to issues that may seem like the starter is being drained. Here's how: Increased load on the starter: The starter motor relies on a sufficient supply of electrical energy from the battery to function properly. When the battery is bad, meaning it has a low voltage or is unable to deliver enough current, the starter has to work harder to draw the necessary power. This increased load can cause the starter to overheat and potentially lead to premature wear and damage. Over time, the excessive strain can make the starter less efficient and eventually fail. Slow or ineffective cranking: A weak or bad battery may not provide enough power to turn the starter quickly or smoothly. This can result in a slow cranking speed, where the starter struggles to rotate the engine's crankshaft. In some cases, the starter may not be able to turn the engine over at all. The longer the starter operates under these conditions, the more stress it experiences, which can shorten its lifespan. Damage to starter components: The repeated stress of trying to start the engine with a bad battery can damage various components within the starter. For example, the starter solenoid, which controls the flow of electricity to the starter motor, can wear out faster due to the increased electrical resistance caused by the low - voltage battery. Additionally, the brushes and commutator in the starter motor may experience more wear as a result of the inconsistent power supply.
Your starter is going bad and needs to be replaced also you might want to change your spark plugs and wires use only planium plugs, and maybe change your oil if the engine has engine sludge in it, it makes the starter work harder to turn the crankcase for the engine to turn over. Your car uses 5w-30 try castrol GTX it has a unqiue anti sluge formula 4.7 quarts.
Check battery voltage--With engine running it should be 13.8-14.2
The best way to tell if a starter is getting power is to use a volt meter. Put the positive lead of the volt meter to the largest ( power ) cable attached to the stater and the ground lead to the chassis. Have a friend turn the key to the start position and see if you get at least 12 volts. If the starter clicks it is getting power and chances are your starter solenoid has failed. Before doing all this it is best to inspect the grounds between your engine and the chassis. Make sure the ends and the places where they are mounted are clean. Make sure the grounds are not excessively frayed as lack of ground will cause the starter to turn slow or not at all.
I recently had the same problem. Turned out to be the starter
