    Check your battery, alternator and starter. Hope this help!

    Are you REAL sure those battery cables are good?The most COMMON cause of hard start and no start is a BAD GROUND.I cleaned my battery clamps and posts and still had problems until i ran fingers down ground cable all the way to where it screwed into block.There it was! There was only one strand of copper left! Also corrosion can go unseen under the rubber coating near the clamp.Green copper is bad copper.Check connection at Starter motor for corrosion/breaks.Is that alternator belt good and is it tensioned?Change to a top post battery if you can and use heavier Gauge cables and new clamps.Any new Battery installation should also come with new hardware and cables.Don't be cheap here, you could be stranded some cold rainy night in the middle of no-where.
