C6. Differentiate between electrical and engine mechanical problems that cause a slow-crank or a no-crank condition. P-2

I accomplished this task by paying attention in class and catching the conversation about how high resistance in the battery cable from the positive battery terminal to the battery terminal on the starter causing a slow crank situation. Also, High internal resistance in a starter could cause a slow crank due to electrical problems. However, the slow crank could be caused by some mechanical factors as well. A cold engine or a super tight engine could cause a slow crank because of the mechanical resistance. Here you see me performing a current draw test. If the current draw is super high and there is a slow crank, then it is mechanical resistance. If the current draw is lower than normal and there is a slow crank, that means that there is high resistance in the battery cable.
