Re: 1998 5.7L starting problems
It's not a symptom of a damaged starter. A damaged starter will slips and make a lound metallic noise when a teeth is broken.
When it goes slowly, it means that the battery is weak. Don't forget that is very cold now. Battery has only 40% of its power, and engine needs 110% more power that usual, so 210%. It's why it's hard to crank.You should see weak bulbs light when it happens.
Or maybe also a bad contact on batt terminals. Check if there's no dirt or loose connection. Cables should not turn when you turn them with force.

A Windstar without having the check engine light is not a real Windstar.
