Glad to see you searched this up! Cause it is over a year old lol... welcome to CF and I think you'll do just great here... lol... now to you questions... if your getting low voltage to you starter from your ignition wire it could be alot of things... best way is to trace it back and test it all the way back to the ignition and well u get the picture... relays fuses all that's in line... before and after whatever to see what's killing power... also make sure the little junction box near your battery is clean and everything tests out there...

Ill have to read back and see what fixed mine... I don't remember lol
