I cleaned up the connections, so they are corrosion free and even put a little dielectric grease on them. The positive cable is wrapped in that plastic wrap stuff, so I can't see any visible defects.



Did you pull the bolt out or just clean the areas that are visable? Cause I've done that & still had a no start...




How did you add a jumper for the ground cable? Have you checked voltage drop between battery + and starter? It sounds like a cable issue. I recently had a new VW Beetle doing this same thing. It would show 12V at the starter in start, but a test light from battery negative to engine ground would also light up-obviously meaning a bad ground somewhere. With a jumper cable set, I hooked one cable from battery - to engine ground and it started. It would also start jumping engine ground to chassis ground-it had a bad ground strap from trans to chassis. You might want to recheck the cables, battery bolts, etc.
