It started when my taurus drags when you try's to start it up what's the problem could be. Could it be that ground wire is not puttin out enough fire to make it run.

A bad ground will make the starter turn slower. Added resistence in the cable + or - will limit the amound of curent that the starter will see.I would start by checking your battery and connections check your cables voltage drop test them or add a ground from the battery and then see what the starter is drawing.

Has battery been load tested? A battery can lose charge quick if a cell is bad/weak. What was the code for light?
