I just replaced my battery with Optima Red Top because my alarm drained my regular batt. So I removed the alarm and soldered iron the two purple wire back together. When i tried to start it ,it was cranking very slow. When the car is turning over my fuel pressure start to drop, and I have to turn to key back to get the fuel pressure up again. Does anyone think it could be a bad battery or the soldered the wires.

Now here is something else when I first turn the key it feels normal but when I continue to turn it to start the car it is real hard. Could this be the problem for the slow cranking (switch drawing to much current?)
Need Help.
Thanks

When I first put my Red Top in it was slow cranking, it was like it needed to *learn in* the car. Now 3 years later, today it was 18dF, and it spun over like it was 80dF outside.

Be sure it's fully charged, and just use it for some decent driving, ie more then just to the market for the first week or so would be my advise. A *surface* charge will just spin the engine for a moment, and then the battery's history.
