Cars that use both a combustion engine and an electric battery are known as hybrid vehicles. Examples include the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, and Ford Escape Hybrid. These vehicles combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Plug-in hybrids, like the Chevrolet Volt and Toyota RAV4 Prime, also allow for extended electric-only driving through larger battery capacities.

Why Engine cranks slowly?

If an engine is cranking slowly the first thing I would suspect is a weak battery. Remove both battery cables and clean both the cable connectors and the battery posts. Put a battery charger on the battery and charge it until if is fully charged. If the problem still persists, then suspect a starter going bad or the engine is slow in time. Remove the starter and have it tested at an auto parts store. If the starter checks OK, then you need to have the engine timing checked. If your Check Engine light is on, have the ECU scanned for a trouble code and go from there.

I just unscrew and take both battery cables off the battery for about 15 minutes and put back on. This should reset the engine light. The check engine light should go out. If it doesn't, you have trouble
