How much cranking current do you need to start a car?
The cranking current required to start an engine varies from vehicle to vehicle and is dependent on the engine size, circuit resistance, temperature, engine oil viscosity and the accessory loads. A four cylinder engine may require as much cranking current as an eight cylinder engine because it may need to crank faster to start.
Why is my car cranking but not starting?

What happens when I re start my car?
Currently, after the car has been run for at least a half-hour, and after the engine has been off for a few minutes, 5 or so, the engine will barely crank or won’t turn over at all on re-start. I found that after letting the car rest and cool for a little while, I can get it to start, but it cranks very slowly. Once started, the car runs fine.
