No, I would say your starter may be going out. Also tune up (coils especially) should be done before any real troubleshooting.

300e 24vmerceds wont start

Check all the fuses first . Clean up all the earth points on the body ,and grease them .Move all the wire conections under the bonnet make sure they are all on tight. Check the battery voltage .Anything under 12 volts is not fully charged .Sounds like a bad earth ,Hard to find these, if i am not able to look at it . .

Slow crank no start high resistance to starting

Check your ground from battery cable to ground spot,check fusible links from positive battery cable.

Well i just found a 1990 Ford Thunder Bird 3.8 SC but it wont start it cranks a bit slow for some reason any ideas

You should want to hear it cranking with a fully charged battery. Maybe it will start at normal cranking speed.
Too much friction, resistance in the engine? If oil is too heavy, it might cause that. How does the oil appear? Black and gooey? Any indication of sludge-give it a pass-the owner has not done regular maintenance.

My 2000 chevy silverado 1500 wont crank on a cold start

Make sure the battery is fully charged. If it starts by jump starting it. Your battery needs to be replaced. If it turns really slow, the starter needs replacement.
