RE: difficult with cranking engine

[David Bokaie <David_Bokaie@NeTpower.com>]

Couple of thoughts:

     1- Is your battery fully charged.  Try Cranking while getting a jump
         from your other car.


     2- It also could be the starter that can turn the engine fast enough. 
 I just
          replaced mine.  Not sure how you can check this??
