91 Integra LS WONT START HELP

[beeluver]

Well the old battery i had in it seem like it was dying when i tried to start it so i went out and bought a New Battery. Plugged it in and i noticed the negative wire was kinda lose so it would crank then die due to the lose negative wire..so i tightened it and when i try to start the car, all i get is just crank.....not like the normal fast cranks but rather a chugging crank. I haven't done anything other then replacing the battery...didn't want to waste money getting parts...not sure whats going on, im thinking spark plugs? Cuz it seemed like spark plug 3 and 4 was kinda moist in there with little oil...haven't taken it out yet cuz dam too cold.... and getting rather late here in Wisc. Thx...any heads up as to what i should do next would be so appreciated thx !!

Check for fuel and spark. You could have sent a surge back through the system blowing a fuse or relay. Check your fuse block as well. Then get back to us

Spark plugs had some oil on it but i just cleaned quick put it back in started it up again and nope same thing...i've searched on youtube alot see if there was something in particular.......however i had someone else try starting it and i saw a little smoke come from the starter...i know that prob doesn't mean anything good...but COULD that be the problem? Dunno what to look for on a starter if its bad. Thx eveyone.

i would suggest getting a valve cover gasket kit first for that oil in ur spark plungs i just went threw that last week wit my DA starter wise ive only had white smoke once and that was cuz sumthing was grounded that shouldnt have been touching it

you could take out your starter and have it tested and I would also suggest a valve cover gasket kit

if its the starter, bag the nipple part of the start a few times. and try to start it again.
