Re: Tip for stuck ground cable?
 
Can anybody confirm whether the small black and white wire from the PCM to the block can cause a slow crank when warm? That is one ground that I did not clean up. I'm wondering if this could be a culprit.

If its the braided ground strap, it is bolted to the subframe. The other end is connected to the stud the holds the coil/ICM to the head. Is this the ground you referring to?

Don't think so. There are folks that have mistakenly left this disconnected before.

Then I imagine my battery is no good from the years of driving with the old alternator. It was only putting out 13 volts and anytime I get that battery tested it just barely passes - CCA's are well below what's on the battery label.
