The starter when on the car will only start when it feels like it like the gear engages then falls back . i took the starter out and had it checked by 3 auto shopes and it tested fine. i tried running direct to the battery and grounding to the engine and it spun fine lots of rpms. but when i tried it with the wire from the ignition it didnt seem to have as much gusto. a buddy put a meter on the ignition wire that hooks to the starter and it gets 10.6 to 10.8 when the key is tunred to the start [position. (without the starter involved). the battery was putting out 11.8 when we tested it there. If anyone knows what may be the problem please let me know i need this car for work in a couple weeks and i cant figure out what to do and im on a budget. Thank you.
