I guess I should check the speed sensor sensor also. I would imagine that would tell the dme how fast the motor is turning?

What meter did you use.
That was with a low battery too. It would normally turn faster on cranking. Nothing too fancy. It's an IDEAL sold at Lowes. I have heard good feedback and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I will thanks. I have a friend that can put it under a microscope to check for small cracks.
