Starting Issues

I just replace the uim and lim today and im having starting issues now.I just replaced the battery a few minutes ago cause i though it was that but it is still doing the same thing it wants to turn over but it is slow cranking now and wasnt before the repairs anyone got any good answers to why this is doing this now??? any help is good help Thanks!!!!
 


I have a bad feeling about this post as there are alot of views and no replies someone just tell me the bad news if there is any....
 
well..check your vacuum hoses make sure everything is hooked up correctly. that could cause issues if it's big enough. did u change the oil?
did u drain the coolant before doing this job? perhaps too much got in the engine somehow..

one way to check is take the plugs out and crank it over. see if u get coolant everywhere lol. if theres any in there (thus causing pressure) it should burn out if u get most of it out once u get the plugs back in. that's just speculating since i had that prob with my other GT.
 
id did drain the oil out and drained the radiator before the repair and i did put about 3 quarts in to run it then i was gonna drain it and do an oil change again to get all that milkshake out but i cant get it to turn over just cranks 1 time the i have to crank it again i went through all the plug ins and grounds and everything seems fine i do have a plug thats is connected to the fuse box under the hood thats not connected does this go anywhere???
 


there's a ground there on teh fuse box i think..maybe that's what you're talking about?

if anything, take a picture of whatever isn't plugged up.

and maybe take some plugs out and turn it over and see if u get coolant out. with a new battery, it should turn over. but since it's barely turning over it just makes me think there's something locking it up, such as coolant in the cylinders. but i could be wrong.

get that pic!

you say "to get all the milkshake out" that part worries me too. did u have a big problem before with that before?
 
nope the is the first problem i had with the car ever since i owned it in 2001 1 owner car i did change the uim and lim witch the lim gasket was trashed and it is a plug coming out the bottom of the fuse box dosent look like a ground for some reason to me its definatly a plug also im having trouble down loading pics to this site wish it have a browse download section instead of putting in a url for the pictures...
 
My Battery connections are nice and clean still the same thing i will take out the plugs and mess with it tomorrow i will let you know the outcome Brandon...
 
Hey Brandon i did what you told me to do and there was alot of build of pressure and gook in the motor i got new plugs and wires and the thing purrs like a kitten...I also did like 4 oil changes on it and and the motor is running very clean..Thanks to all the people who helped me through this it saved me a ton of money......
