Even after getting a new battery, the car still seems sluggish to crank during starting. What is the next step? For one, does the starter need to be replaced if it ain't broke? The alternator is three years old with new spark plugs in October 2013. What else is there? Do any electrical parts increase in resistance with age? (If so, what?) What other electrical components am I missing? Is there an electronic module, or such, that may be dying?

The car is a 2005 Honda CR-V pushing 250,000 miles. On that note, I can say the engine performs just fine when driving city or highway. Maybe it's better to buy a new car? I won good money on the casino which I found on the https://canadiancasinos-online.com/ this guys wrote reviews about quality casinos, so maybe it will be helpful for somebody.

My '06 RSX had a known starter issue. Maybe the starters for your car were similarly flawed.

It would just feel generally weak when starting. And there was a 'grind' sometimes after the engine lit up.
