Rsx Type-s Weird Starting Symptoms (maybe corrosion related)

Car is a 04 type s with about 180k miles. When I bought it, I could tell it had a audio system installed, which was removed. There was a grounding cable that was attached to the battery and ran to the trunk. I removed it as it wasn't connected to anything anymore.

The battery itself was old and the terminals had corrosion. I ended up cleaning them and cut the positive off and replaced it. I tried cleaning up the cable as much as possible before putting the new terminal on. But I suspect the corrosion was going further up.

So new terminals, and I replaced the battery. Had the starter checked in the car at auto zone and it checked out ok.

The car will start up fine when cold. Then i'll drive somewhere and then go to start it again and it will turn over forever and not start. Second time it will start fine. Always does this and always starts the second time once warm.

Then sometimes the car will randomly stall while driving, at a stoplight or stop sign. Will start right up afterwards. Also tends to stall sometimes when parallel parking with a lot of steering wheel turning. As if a wire is getting pinched or something weird like that.

I am thinking to maybe first try replacing the positive battery cable?

Any other thoughts of what to check?

Thanks,

Cody
