welcome to the forum, are you talking about a slow crank? I'd have to make sure the battery has a full charge and the connections are good. Next, I'd get at the starter relay, underhood fuse box. Check the circuits, use a voltmeter, note the actual voltage reading, key in crank position.

If you place the meter leads across the battery posts, key in the crank position, how far does the reading drop?
