    are you sure the solenoid is good, it might be wack, check all of your fuses , and maybe try to jump it just for the sake of jumping it to make sure you didnt get a bad battery good luck

    Check the charge on your battery, 11.5 volts is low. you should see about 13.4 across the battery with no load.

    ummm yah when the cars running 13.4 is good. he cant get the car to start so since the battery is a 12 volt battery 11.5 is ok.

    have u tried a different starter at all yet.

    yes, i have tried 2 different starters, and both tested good at auto zone and advance, but i dont think those testers test them under load. i have not tried popping the clutch yet (lack of a hill ). if i had a bad ground, which i think it might be, where are all the ground located so i make sure i dont miss one?
