I replaced the starter last week, and both the main connection directly from the battery and the smaller crank wire are both tight. After this happened I was getting a solid ~12V at the starter both before and after cranking. Unfortunately I haven't been there when this has happened, and I don't expect my wife to crawl under there and test the starter.
