check the connection every where the ground to the block then work your way down on the positive side,if everything is clean and tight go foe solenoid next take a jumper cable and attach it to each large stud if stater engages with full por then there is your issue if still turns slow it is time to remove the starter and head to autozone for a load test
by the time you have taken all these steps you should have solved the problem . dont want to scare ya but if this doesnt do it you have bigger problems like head gasket
brianj leakage

Check the ground connections first, If all are good might want to check the price of a new starter. Weak battery, bad connections either at the battery or grounding point on the frame would be a good place to start...
Best of luck
