I tried extra grounding and It didn't help. I ran jumper cables from the 14 and 17m bolt directly to the negative battery terminal. I also sanded down the starter bolts, the location on the tranny where it bolts up and the bolt holes on the start itselt.

autozone tested starter and it passed.

I smell fuel if I crank it a few times. The other day while cranking, I got it start a few times BUT it stalled out. (I pulled out the fuel pump fuse) Also, I got a backfire through the throttlebody. I searched and came up with a few answered. 1- timing chain off. 2- A Stuck valve? 3-built up vapors from unsuccessful starts.

I ran some more MULTIREADER TEST AND GOT THE FOLLOWING.

IGNITION COIL HARNESS. POWER SUPPLY IS A LITTLE LESS THAN BATTERY VOLTAGE.
between terminal 3 and 1 i'm getting .02 and the manual states I require between .01 - .1 volts.

is something draining my system causing the hard starts?
