Check your battery connections. Take the terminals completly off and see if there is any corrosion. Take your battery to an auto parts store and have them chack it to make sure it is good. After that, if all tests fine, put an amp guage on the positive cable going to your starter and have someone crank it over while you watch the guage, if the guage pegs out, or is over 200 - 250 amps the starter is bad. Let us know....
