I have a 1985 Toyota Pickup SR5 with the 22RE. When I try to start it, it cranks over very slow. Like it has a bad batt. I put a new one in I also have put a new starter in. Still cranks slow its like I have to much compression. If I pull all the spark plugs and crank the engine it rotates fine but as so as I put them in it rotates a lil bit at a time. It gose like a quarter at a time it pause between each piston. Not sure what it is Please Help:-(

Hows the S-10? I gave you something on it again-go do it

For this one-check the compression both wet/dry readings. BTW when you pulled the plugs out did you see any coolant? Could be hydro-locking or mechanical problem within

Remove all the plugs and crank the engine over-If there's no coolant-sounds like the engine is partially seiged-where dunno-needs to open up to find out-
