I havent tested the starter. The only way I can get the car started (and this is why I dont think its the starter itself) is if I sit in the car and hold the key on and someone else is under the hood shaking and messing with the cables it will occasionly start. But you really have to beat on it almost as if it isnt connected correctly?
