My starter won't stay kicked in. It engages and then part way through the starting process kicks out (sounds like the selinoid disengages while the starter motor keeps running) and then as I let off the key, it sounds like the spinning gear then engages the flywheel and stops spinning (with a klunk). I have to go through this several time (maybe 4-5 times) till it finally starts. I have tried 2 used starters and find that I am only getting around 10 volts at the starter, but with 12 volts bench it will perform fine every time. I have to travel to New England from Ohio in 3 days. What can I do. don't want to buy anything more to just throw money at it. This is my only real problem with the car, have 160,000 miles on it.
