[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1398821, member: 8054"] You might have a bad starter relay. You can check it with your volt meter. Put the positive meter lead to the wire coming from the battery to the starter relay and put the negative meter lead to the wire going to the starter. Watch the meter when starting. You should see battery voltage before hitting the starter and virtually nothing once the starter is spinning. If you see any voltage, this would point to dirty contacts in the relay causing a voltage drop in the relay. If voltage is dropping in the relay, there's less available for the starter and it'll run slow or not at all depending on how much is lost in the relay. I'd say anything over 0.5 volts is cause for replacing the relay. [/QUOTE]
