2005 Honda accord 2.4 slow crank to no crank but brand new battery.
Over the past 2 months I have been experiencing intermittent episodes of slow crank as iff the battery was almost dead. It would sowly attempt crank for about 3 seconds before it couldn't turn over any more. I would let it sit for 20-30 seconds and try again and it would usually start. Sometimes I would have to try again 30 seconds later. I assume the battery was dead so I purchased and installed a new battery. Went out this morning and same thing happened. I'm a little stumped as I'm not so sure this is a drain issue because I have left the car for 5 days while on vacation and it started right up when I got home. Her additional info and observations.
- 2003 Accord Ex 4 cylinder
- Seems to happen more often when damp/rains and cold
- Usually happens in morning but sometime when when leaving work
- Extended amount of time (days) doesn't seem to change symptoms.
I still think it might be a drain but but the "sitting for days" thing confuses me.
Thanks!

Why did you install new cam sensors?
If the starter is cranking slow, it is either the starter, battery, or the wiring. I wouldn't blindly replace the starter relay, because it sounds like the relay is working. A quick test is to swap the starter relay with an identical relay nearby.
You can try voltage drop test on the + battery cable from the starter to the battery + terminal. You can also do the same test on the battery ground wire. These are simple tests, but you may want to watch a youtube video or some other source on how to do this.

I change the two camshaft sensors because I was getting the code on the code reader I have to replace them. The code was still coming up on the code reader, so tomorrow I’m just gonna go to change swap out the starter relay. Maybe check the negative battery cable ground there’s got to be a loose connection somewhere cause this happened to me about four months ago where the car has full power but no start I’d wait like a minute and it would start up no problem.

I figured it out when I was programming a second remote starter remote. I had activated the immobilizer green flashing key on the dash and didn’t know and that killed the fuel pump so I watched a YouTube video of how to deactivated it and my car starts up no problem now it’s so easy and it was something so stupid.
Thank everyone for your help and time all I had to do was deactivate the immobilizer mode
