I am pulling 14 volts across the battery while running, but when i crank the motor the engine seems to pause during crank and all lights in cabin go bad. I am thinking the starter is about dead, but would like some feed back before i go drop 250 for a new one.

You could have both tested and clean connections at same time OR can get involved watching where power drops to inadequate with a decent DVOM. Couple things: Connection appearance doesn't mean everything. If this is intermittent like you said if you test electrically while it IS NOT misbehaving it would test OK so gotta catch it in the act. If this pause can reset things in interior (clock, radio etc) can go from there but might be corrosion of power more than just cables. Is this a mess near and or under battery AND is there a lot of electrical stuff on this? Not sure but heard some put some important stuff in a location subject to too much exposure and a trouble spot also, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
