Weird Problem

So when i was aiming my headlights tonight i cranked up the car to pull it back into the garage and thats where it started. I cranked her up and it started but it kinda slowly started up. I dont know what could be wrong. i reved it to 3 a couple times and everything seemed fine. This has happened before but it doesnt happen all the time. Im worried it may be the alternator. Any ideas as to what might be the problem. Plugs maybe?

Hmmm, it is hard to understand but I take it when the engine turned over it took longer than normal to make a rotation?

Yea if it's cranking slow, you have a starting/charging system problem. If it cranks normal but takes a while to fire up you have something else going on...

More importantly, how long did it take you to aim your lights. If it was more than 15 minutes, thats the reason that the car cranked slow...
