Default Hard starting

Hey guys i have a 95 accord Automatic which sometimes wont start and barely cranks at all. But other times it just starts. Ive changed the starter, battery, dist cap and rotor and nothing. Heres a vid I just took http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOChN...ature=youtu.be it usually dies after the grinding noise.

Have you tested charging of battery while running? You should be reading about 13vdc or more. If that looks good your starter solenoid could be flakey. Also, make sure all battery connections are clean and tight and the cable on the starter has a clean and tight connection.

Possible alternator is not putting out full charge. Is the alternator belt the right tension? You have to eliminate possibilities.
