98 v70 T5 Won't Start

Post by **mt98t5** » 21 Aug 2011, 18:31

I just picked up a 98 V70 T5, the plugs were junk, so I changed the plugs, cap, rotor, and wires. The car turns over slowly, with a different battery and with a charger hooked up. I wiggled the key to see if that is the issue, still cranks slow. Any advice would be appreciated.

Was it running before you did the work?

I'd take a battery cable from an auto parts store and connect it directly from the battery to the starter. The battery cables on these cars are a known fluke.

How do you throw a rod in a Honda?

I changed the starter, same thing. I removed the plugs and it turns over as it should. I will need to check the timing. Does anyone have pics of where the marks should be on a V70 T5?

There's a pinned topic "850 140k major maintenance" at the top of the forum. That's gonna have the pictures you're looking for - same for a 98 V70.
