Starting Problems

[mojilla]

I own a 89 tta. I can only get 5-7 starts out of it befor i have to jump it. I put in a new battery, alternator, and starter. I have checked the fuseable links, and the ground. The scanmaster reads 12.3 volts and the accesories work. I will go to start the car and the volts drop to 11.2. I cant hear the starter click. It feels the car is dead but there is volts b/c all the lights work, and i have 12.3 volts on the scanmaster.
If anybody has any advice i would greatly apperciate it.
THANKS Joe Miller

But what is the voltage when the car is running...should be more like 13-14v at the battery...not the scanmaster. Have the starter checked if the alternator is putting this amount out. (check the starter for current draw)

Also check and see if something is pulling the battery down when not running..something like the underhood or trunk light staying on...etc.
