The first thing i would do is hit the starter with a hammer a few times, I have done it many times and it works old school, Hit it not tap it OK, let me know if that does it.

Measure the voltage at the starter when the key is turned. Maybe a bad starter or a high resistance in the cable circuit.

That's what happened to my starter.... the old one. Had to be rebuilt. And... new starters can be bad too. Take it back, there should be a quarrantee on it if you haven't had it that long.
Suggestion.... DO NOT by one from Auto Zone. Just like their wiper motors, their starters are probably no good right out of the box. I've been down that road with them before. NAPA is the place to go. Check for corrosion in the + battery cable. I also installed a 2 gauge wire from the battery to the starter and that made a big difference in starting... for the better.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
