    Hard to Start RXP

    My '04 RXP has been hard to start for the last few months. Takes 2-3 attempts to get it to fire. Batt is good(12-12.4v). Did a voltage drop test on it yesterday. Voltage dropped down to 9 volts while cranking. Splashed it today, took 5+ attempts to get it to fire. After a short run I put it back on the lift, Go to flush it and it wont crank at all. Fuel pump runs, clicks(solenoid I assume) but does nothing. I am leaning towards a bad starter.

    Should be right by the fuse box.

    Replaced the Solenoid today, Did not crank over. Its doing the same thing. Solenoid clicks but the starter will not engage to crank the engine over.

    What am I left to check? Starter? Fuses?

    battery, cables and starter would be where I would look if you KNOW the starter solenoid is working correctly.
