Well, little update. Had the starter rebuilt, no dice. I did notice though the positive battery terminal was a little loose so I took it apart to clean it and notice inside it was corroded pretty badly. I replaced it with a new one onto a fresh piece of wire and the car hasn't ever started stronger :biggrin:

:thankyou:

Yup, you guys said it... I'll be honest though the terminal looked fine. It was only until I pulled it off the wire did I see that it was corroded, badly.
