bad starter?
getting 12.5 volts across the battery. the 12mm bolt on the starter is getting 12.5 volts to GND. the small terminal on the starter is at GND. engine will not crank or turn at all, only click once, i can hear the starter solenoid activate, and fuel is pumping. Tried hitting the starter while cranking, no results. When i manually jump started the starter, (+) terminal on battery straight to the small terminal on starter (was initially at GND), car finally cranked over the motor really quick, i did this while ignition was at the ON position.
does this mean that i have a bad starter, or could it possibly be ignition related?

Re: bad starter?
problem solved.
took starter to autozone, passed the test, but the starter still ended up being faulty. got a hold of a used starter, tried that one and the car started right up.
