Until you can get real voltage reading hurry and fix a broken tooth on starter drive. It would come with a rebuilt starter, $40 bucks when I looked but may have also damaged "flywheel gear" AKA ring gear as well and trans has to come out to do that.


That all could be (not sure) because starter is too tight and they make shims for that as needed. If you saw one fall out along the way and didn't put it back it's stressing the hell out of the operation right there.


This is almost certainly NOT to do with voltage at all but necessary that it at least crank up properly and should if not fuel pump, tank, alternator or any of it, should be able to just crank engine normally if only a test.


I still don't believe your voltage readings. If this thing can spike (already said all this before) volts out of control the problem will never end and play ping pong with assorted failures till all is correct at the same time.


Please don't try to say you rebuilt an engine to prove anything. If you were comprehensively skilled at a full engine overhaul you wouldn't be fussing with alternators, regualtors, unknown voltages and now a starter I bet you wouldn't be able to do just a starter drive alone and never heard of it or what it does,
