The starter tested good and can still.be bad and the problem. Change the Starter. Im figuring you tested it at a Autozone or somewhere. Ive had that problem before.

Jump the starter, you can one set up for that ,or use a wire, to do that. If that doesn't work cheak that the engine, isn't locked up use the bolt on the front of the engine, to do that, hope this helps,
