Default 98 Ls slow cranking and non start.

First post. Hi.
Right. Got a 1998 vvti 400 about a month ago.

Within a week the battery / alternator went.
Fixed that.

Went to start it today. It fired up fast as normal. Then died straight away.

It now cranks over very slowly and won't fire or catch.

Tried jumping it incase the new battery was knackered to no joy.

Any ideas?

starting to loose faith now.

Cheers
matt.

Either you have bad battery connections some place, bad ground to engine, or bad solenoid or the starter is crapping out.
Corroded fuses or connectors. Not likely the starter because of the initial problems.
