About 10.2-10.4 volts is bottom
BT Snake Hersh Most ecu will not fire the injector with any thing less that voltage of 10.2-10.4V at the battery. Stater is getting hot because of the low ampage in the battery. It sound like a dead cell. How old is the battery? more than a couple years, go to pep boys or auto zone, have tested,they fail about 32% of all batterys like Sears, and buy a new one. Try and get the highest CCA as possible to fit in the car. 525 is OK but something in the high 700's to 1,000 CCA would be better. This will fix the cranking problem. The other thing could be that the starter needs another rebuild. Didn't we have this done after R&G at Gateway???
We could alway go back to the 60's and push start it.
Work up a nice sweat loss a couple of pounds and be happy.
