slow start
Hello,
New to site. Has anyone had problems they were able to correct that had to do with a slow start. The car is a 2002, SL, with 179,000 mi. When I turn the key it drags then picks up and starts. I pulled the starter and it checked good. Battery checks good. There just seems to be something getting in the way of voltage to the starter. Any ideas? Thanks, Al |
You might seriously think about replacing the large positive cable to the battery. I have seen several Saturns where battery acid has wicked up under the cable jacket, and started eating on the wire, almost like termites working on a 2x4 in your house ...

I agree with OA, but I'd carry it one step further and replace the ground cable too. And check all of your grounds. A loose or broken ground connector can cause the very problem you have.
