89 cherokee hard start
I have an 89 jeep cherokee 4.0 L. new alternator, new battery, good plugs and plug wires. the problem is......when i crank the engine over it acts just like the battery is about dead. a couple good cranks then slowly dies. any thoughts would be helpful. thanks

Have you had the starter checked? also check grounds at both batt and engine
I'm changing the battery terminals and ground wire today. if that doesn't fix things then the starter gets pulled. i picked the starter out of an auto wrecker about 6 months ago. sometimes it doesn't pay to try and save a few bucks. thanks for the help guys.
