I wanted to get some opinions. My symptoms started just recently with a sluggish starting as if the battery was weak, sorts of crank then hangs,crank and hangs then it acts like the battery went dead. If I turn off the ignition and try again it would do the same then finally start. I changed the battery and it seemed OK. This morning I went to start the car and the engine cranked but like before where it would crank then hang as if something was holding the engine back and the starter did not seem to be able to overcome the engine. It did cough once through the TB. Which indicated to me as the engine was getting too much timing. The vehicle did finally start on the third try but it was like the engine barely cranking. Engine runs fine after starting. Could the crank sensor be bad? If not what else can i look for. Battery cables were changed when I installed the new battery. Thanks for any help.
