The light in the battery gauge came on, battery tested good. Moving on to the alternator, I removed the fuel rails, disconnected the hoses and took out the air intake manifold. Alternator tested bad, so was replaced. Everything was put back together per original configuration. Now when I go to start the car, it will crank but not fire. When it cranks, it only does so for less than a second, then shuts off even if I keep the "START" button pressed, I'll get bursts on the starter but no continuous cranking. When it does fire, sometimes its after 4 tries, sometimes its after 12+. Once running, it runs great. No CEL or other lights. Feels like its starts easier when cold, that is the starter will crank long enough for it to fire. Then, even when ran for under a minute, following attempts will result in the pulsing of the starter motor, even if "START" button is continuously held down.
Please see link below for a video description. Any ideas? Thanks guys. The car did not have this issue, even with the dying alternator, two weeks ago and prior, would always crank long enough to fire the engine.
I realize that the alternator is a secondary issue, I mentioned it to give an idea of what was disconnected and unplugged in the process.
