VT Commodore Power Problem

[Holden202T]

slow cranking to me sounds like the battery wire to the starter motor is dodgy or the battery terminal itself.

Maybe but that doesnt explain why it starts fine when warm after only being shut down for a few seconds. After a few minutes then its slow to crank.

Auto elec had a look at it today, i told him all my symptoms, he took a look at the re-wire the last one did and immediatley said thats what my problem was. The cabling was too small and i was getting voltage drop.

He re-wired all the positives and negatives and it worked like a charm. Starts like a little 4cyl now lol.

what was previously re-wired ?

[TTPSI]

Everything that got done the other day. All the earths and power to the alternator and starter.

He took one look and said they are too small lol.

yeah fair enough, that would do it..... need a good wire from the battery to the starter motor thats for sure!

[TTPSI]

For sure. I just didnt realise that a piece of wire could have 12v, down to 5v the click back to life. Im still a little optimistic but we'll see. I seem to think its was the ususal thing with cars. A combination of 2 different things lol.
