Re: 97 monte carlo starting problems
DId you actually remove the cable from the battery or just do an external inspection. Corrosion can get between the side post and the cable with no external signs. If you removed the cables during inspection, then I'd say your starter is bad. The additional amperage/voltage from the jumper cables was enough to overcome the bad spot on the starter.
