Starting trouble

[notomorrow]

so my car is cranking over, but not as fast as it should be. I just replaced the starter and the cables coming off the battery with no luck. After cranking it a couple times the wires on the starter start to smoke a bit. The car is a suzuki sidekick 1991 1.6 tbi.

new starter,
and
Brand new battery cables? too ?

what wires smoke, no way you smoked those huge battery cables. I dont believe that.

91 TBI
the negative battery cable starts at the minus terminal of the battery and attaches
to the top mounting bolt of the starter
came that way , new. ( no other connections allowed, only direct to starter , can answer why)
if that cable is bad all the body ground wires will burn.

want to fix it , lets test it.
throwning parts rarely works.

here are the critical grounds.

common-failures


here is the no crank page.

slow cranking , can be a bad battery.
but it can just as equally be a resistave or bad power distrution system.

easy as pie , after 18years.


no crank or smoke crank.

batteries good had it charging all day yesterday just to make sure even though it is a new battery.Any thing thats connected to the started that is not metal is smoking because the starter is getting hot.

there key word,what exactly is getting hot.
starter casing.

if true engine is mostly likely hydra-locked. or plain seized. (bad ring gear , rare)

remove spark plugs , see what happens while cranking.

green juice flying and fast crank speed.

this is 8v and is free running motor so no valve jammed to pistons.

or much worse.
