Exclamation power window acting weird

my power window in my car is acting as if it has a capacitor. i know nothing about them, do they have capacitors? sometimes when i put them up or down they will only go down a little or up a little then stop but if i wait for a lil bit they will fully go up or down. anybody know anything about this?

It's the motor. It needs to be replaced. This is a very common problem on these cars. Try doing a search, there's a great write-up with pictures floating
