Looks like I have to go back to detective school.

Before going to buy a battery, I decided to put the battery from my V6 mustang into the cobra just to make sure..... When I turned the key there was a 1-2 second hesitation, then the starter turned over slowly but the car started. I took it for a short drive, the dash guage read very low, got home, turned it off, then it wouldn't start again. When I turned the key there was a big hesitation like it was building up juice and then maybe a half turn by the starter and that's it. I put the multimeter on the (new) battery with the engine shut off and it was at 12.

(I had that same hesitation when you turn the key on with another car many moons ago and it turned out to be the starter. Something about not being able to bear the load or something.) The starter turned over like a champ with no hesitation when I gave it a boost earlier though.

I guess I need to start over. Any ideas?
