starting engine prob

my 95 3.4L camaro is sluggish about starting up.
i replaced the battery which was bad and it help the car to turn over faster, but it still has a little bit of sluggishness.

what could it be?

ive seen starters do that on v8's where they dont turn fast, it could be that but then again who knows about a 95 v6 this was a 80's 350. i think about starting there.

Re: starting engine prob

before u go spending money on a starter first check out the more common cheap fixes, check the wires and battery terminals for corosion or worn spots and check to make sure none of the wires might be grounding out somewhere if theres a knick in them

A good tip justlearning. Also, he can use a heavy
gauge wire to temporarily jump the starter to the battery.
( WATCH OUT FOR MOVING PARTS )
This will, in an instant check all those places you mentioned,
even if some of them are difficult to get to.
If it cranks better using the jumper,
he then should renew all those connections.

Re: starting engine prob

if you go to the dealership, they can use a diagnostic tool to check your battery, starter, and charging system to see if there are any faults in your circutry.
