Back to basics. Why won;t my car crank over faster?

[julie at menloparkrandd.com (julie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)]

Pull the plugs and try tp turn it over. If its the high compression, then with out plugs, it will be very low compression, and might turn over.
If it is the case then get the permanent magnet type of starter.
