    Hey guys I’m kinda new to this. I recently got my car fixed from polarizing the battery and shorting the car. Then recently the car was taking a while to turnover til it just couldn’t crank anymore so I thought it was the plugs so I replaced them. Car still won’t start so I’m stuck now.

    Check your battery. First and easy thing to look at and could be a simple fix. If thats not it, then we can dig deeper

    Slow/long crank ending up with no crank sounds like a dead battery

    If your battery checks out okay (auto parts store can do a load test on it) then I would think it is the stater itself.

    Last year my car struggled to start. I thought it was my battery since I noticed an improvement if I had a charger on it. But over time it got slower and slower. As it was wearing out it would draw more and more amps. I picked me up a new aftermarket starter off amazon. Fixed my issue.

    Also check the power wore to the starter. They are a known problem on these cars
