08 Civic slow crank wont start
Hey folks
I have a 08 Honda Civic 1.8 with 169k miles. When I go to start the car it cranks slow like a bad battery. So I went and got a new battery. With the new battery in the car still cranks slow, and doesn't start. Even with a jump, it does not start. What are some other things I can look at or test? Before this started there were no battery lights or CEL.

Re: 08 Civic slow crank wont start
might be a dragging (weak) starter or worn solenoid contact. Have a helper start the engine as usual while you bang on the starter with pipe.
