CCA battery check/starter check next.
End with cold start tuning.

Standalone tuning can be tricky for start up tuning. If you have your ignition timing set incorrectly for cranking then the engine can start sluggishly and feel like it's fighting back against the starter. For tuners, talk is cheap and it's easier to blame the hardware than look at the tune settings... Careful there, might be time for a second opinion on the timing/ECU setup.

Will get those value today I hope. At this point all I get is a click when we try and start the motor, including when we wire the new starter directly to the battery. Confusing to a newbie like me as the motor sounded good when we had it running, no stumbling, smooth idle, pulled well through the rev band. Will pull the plugs as well and see what we find.
