Checked alternator and is good. so that leaves me with the starter.
Seems to be like the power is not going through. Like trying to start a car that has a really dead battery. 1 slow revolution, and all lights go dim. All fuses good, all wires and guages are good. No stray wires.
Gota be the starter??

anything new?

Where is your meth soleniod in relation to your nozzle? If your soleniod is higher than your nozzle this could be allowing meth to leak into your intake via gravity and vaccum upon start thus causing a hard start up...

Ended up being the cable wires were to small, and could not hold the voltage needed to start the car. And before that my Nesei Batt died. didnt even have for a year.(4.5 mnths) Problem flixed, relocated to trunk.

Same situation, car sat for three weeks, went to start it and I had to crank it about 6 or 7 times. I don't want to take it to satan, so if anyone would help that would be great.
car is stock with the exception of a LICP, and DP.

Problem solved. The engine was flooded. I took out the fuel pump fuse and cranked it for a bit, put the fuse back in and it started up.
