Stumped...Car turns over very slow, and wont start - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Car is a 92 240sx se. Just put a new battery in it and looked over all grounds and wires, and checked fuses. The starter I noticed had junkyard writing on it. I have another off a running KA Im going to swap tomorow to see if thats the case, but I dont think it is due to the way it turns over, but it may be...

Symptom, you turn the key and the engine turns over VERY SLOW! Like slower then any engine with a fully charged batery should crank. Not near fast enough to actualy kick over and start. I also noticed the power wire that bolts to the starter got extremely hot when trying to start the car. Car has power, is getting fuel, spark, but I realy beleive the issue is that it will not turn over very quick, maybe once outa 20 times it will give me false hope and sputter, then slow down to barely any crank!

I searched hi and low and couldnt find anything this specific to my problem. And I figured Id ask trusty Zilvia to see if anyone may have had this problem or can help before I start replacing everything under the hood!

Thanks in advance!
