    9 volts is low. when tested was it load tested?

    all you need is a simple test light, if it lights up you have power.

    when i say hit it, i mean hit the body of the starter with a hammer, good firm shot or three while the key is held to crank. most will work again for a short while.

    I tried a test light and it turns out that thing doesn't work anymore so I had to rely on my multi meter. I first started having problems with it back in late August, had it checked and it was fine. Got it tested again in probably October, checked out fine, and lastly in November when I was really starting to scratch my head I took it to my mechanic and he also said it was within spec. Would I have to jack up the car to do the starter testing stuff you mentioned?
