Something else you MAY want to look into: When we have a bad starter or alternator come into our shop we usually call Brownings Auto and Marine Electrical. They REBUILD the bad one and give it bad looking better than new. So look through your phone book and call auto electrical places and see if they possibly can rebuild it for you .

 

im having the same problem..... i have a 95 eclipse gst that does the same thang,so i replaced the starter brand new still no start,i replace the alternator brand new still no start , and i replaced the battery brand new and still no start.....so i did some research about it and nothing so i finally came across some helpful information..... since my eclipse was my only car i had to figure out something quick someone told me to try running a switch from the solenoid which is on the starter...and it worked

 

Have you tried checking the fuses? Running the switch is going to bypass the fuse which will mean BAD things for the starter should a power spike go the wrong way...
