Another Starting issue thread, oh boy!

[NC Tom]

So this is thread is adjacent to my battery thread, but different.

 

New battery installed, cranks strong, but no catch. Tried it a few time because it's been sitting for a bit. No luck. Attached my jump box, engine turnover was noticeably quicker and she started right up. So, it's still not turning over fast enough to catch with a new battery. Seems to need a little extra juice.

My REM shows voltage at 13.7 while idling. Do these symptoms point back the alternator? The Advance Auto check I had done on it indicated it was ok.

How do ALL of the battery cable connections look? At the battery, at the starter, and at the end of the ground. This does not seem like an alternator issue at all. It looks at the battery cables, then possibly the starter.

At the batt are solid. I'll have to get in there to check the others.

I just removed and cleaned the cables and connections. They weren't too bad to start.

 

Still no full start after the cleaning. I added the jump box back in and it eventually caught, but it took several tries.

I checked all the reading from the REM while at idle ans the only one that was off is the TPS reading at 12 and not 17.

Definitely want to adjust the TPS but I don't think that would give any issues being produced. Do you have a multimeter? Measure the continuity between the wires from the starter relay to the starter, and see if there's any resistance. Could be corroded somewhere that's not visible.

Assuming that I did this correctly, continuity is there. I put the red probe on starter and used black probe to check all the connections on the relay.
