The car was turning slowly when starting and then it wouldn't hardly turn over and not start, we had the battery check and the test indicated it was bad. Put new battery in and at first it would only click, click after awhile it finally started. What do you thing? We restarted it about ten times. What do you thing was the problem or what is the problem.

Get a real good look at the cables. Any sign of green corrosion will cause a high resistance. Connections must be clean and tight at all ends.
