1989 22RE starts only when jumped
The battery in my truck turns the motor over plenty fast enough that it should start. However, it will only start with jumper cables on it. Any clues?

I am fairly confident the battery is not the problem. I have tried quite a few, although none were brand new, they were known, good batteries. I am having some other electrical issues as well, but would like to figure this one out first..

started at the battery cause there's nothing left to lose. Replaced wire to starter with marine grade high zinc wire from a boat. Cleaned battery wire ends to the relay/EFI fuse block thing on passenger inner fender then it ran perfect. Drove it to the garage from the back yard and let it get warm. While warming up I started bolting the relay block EFI thing back on the inner fender and when I grab it the motor bogs down...Might have this thing licked tomorrow.
