Before you jump into a starter did you check you relays and grounds?

If you don't have a good ground from the engine to the chassis it will do what you are saying. Also make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight against the posts.

Do a voltage drop test. With a muiltmeter / volt gauge check the voltage drop when you crank the car. If it drops under 10 volts the problem is your starter. If not you have a nother problem.

pull it and bring it to advanced auto or autozone they will check it for free, easiest way to remove it is pull the alternator un bolt the starter and remove from the bottom
