Sxt model. It's turning off very really slow and it won't start it's almost like it's dragging some. The cole is good. I got new spark plugs and wires still nothing. The coil is firing good. I just don't know.

Hi,

Can you record the sound of the engine when cranking and upload it so I can hear it?

Now, if it is turning slowly, it can be a few things. First, is the battery good? Second, are the terminals clean and tight? Third, has the starter been checked? And last, is there anything getting hot when cranking such as the battery terminals?

Next, if you have spark and it won't start, that can indicate there is no fuel to the engine. Will it start for a couple seconds if you use starting fluid? If it does, then we know it is a fuel related issue.

Finally, here are a few link that you may find helpful. Let me know the answers to my questions if possible.
