Answer
Hello Frank:

What does it Do When Trying to Start the Engine? Does it Start and Quit? Is the Starter Turning Sluggish? Please Explain as Best you can. It Does Not Matter if I Read 2 or 3 Pages of an Explaination. The More I Know the Better.  It Just Helps Give me a Starting Point. Thanks.

Respectfully

John
