cold starting problems
okay...whenever i start my car in the morning it always does three things...
it turns for a while..then it'll weakly a couple times then starts.
there's also a loud belt like squeal that i hear right when it starts
ps. the noise sounds nothing like a starter problem cause i've replaced it before.

not sure yet...i havent really been able to check cause im pretty much by myself whenever the car starts and it wont do it again after it's been driven...
the battery is pretty old and has had to be resurrected a few times.

thats where I'd start, take it to autozone or somewhere of the like they should test the battery for free.

Yeah this is a good point, when i was finghting a weird electrical issue i installed six 4 gauge wires all over the engine bay for extra grounding, 2 of those went from the starter to the chassis, and from the tranny to the chassis. right away i noticed quicker starts so i know this had an effect on the car.
In general, after poking around different electrical connectors around the engine bay, i noticed the grounds are not that great and very exposed...

true...but the tow truck driver from AAA tried every trick to start the car...
(obviously he didnt wanna tow us 70 miles)
even as far as trying to jump the starter..
the starter was ****ed...obviously FTL.
stupid autozone.
