I need help with the starter
If you think it's not getting enough juice, take a large guage wire from the positive battery post directly to the positve post on the starter and see what happens (you may want to fuse it, but I would just go for it). Make sure the battery has a full charge while you are at it.
if you have (or had) the factory alarm on the car, pull the 10A power steering fuse from the driver side fuse box (should be in the middle or so)...try to crank it up...this is a wild guess, but I'm working under the assumption that the starter cut relay is somehow chopping your starter power AFTER it has had the time to engage the flywheel...like I said, wild guess...have you inserted a big screwdriver into the starter hole and tried to turn the flywheel? does it turn easy? mark the top of the alt belt or pulley with some white-out and turn the flywheel a couple of "screwdrivers". Did the mark on the belt move?
