Starter troubles

Absolutely it can. If you don't have a good clean ground then you basically are going to get less then 12 volts to the starter because the rusted ground will require more current to make it to ground. This will cause the load (the starter in this case) will have less voltage.

Let's clean the ground and make sure it is tight then retest to see if the starter is working.

If not, let me know and we can go to the next step.

love you guys and please keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words. Let us know how you make out and if that doesn't get it started we can go to the next step. Thanks

So far seems to start up every time. thank you. the ground was dirty and a rusty bolt.

Sounds great. If that is the case, I suspect you got it taken care of. Thanks for the update and using 2CarPros.
