If its slowly cranking, check your battery. Could be your alt did not charge it enough.

Battery charge works like so:
Full charge: Strong crank, spark and starts
Lower charge weak crank, spark and starts
Even Lower weak crank, no spark and doesnt start
Even Lower usually starter clicks
And empty: nothing...

What does your battery read in terms of volts? Charge it, and get a reading while the car is running to confirm alt is charging the battery.

their all fine voltage was reading at 12.4 , my concear might be a bent rod ,beacuse it was taking to a high rpm and later that day i found out one of my t hooks was broken so the wastegate did not open and it put mad pressure to it but in terms of electrical problems its good , good voltage , lights dont dim out , no rust spots ect
