starter wont work when mounted on truck
I have a 94 disco1 rover that i just bought used. It has 190k on it. the car died a few times while in drive while slowing to a stop then wouldnt start up. after a few hours of effort we get it to start then drive it for maybe 20 minutes then we turned it off and it wouldnt start up again. we replaced the distributor cap and rotor and got it to start up again but then drove it around for 10 minutes or so then turned it off. we couldnt get it to start up again and finally the ignition wire to the starter arched a few times. we put on a new starter and it wont engage once hooked up to the truck even with a power probe. we can get the starter to spin while its off the truck but once we hook it to the hot and ground on the car it wont do anything. we've tried a 2nd new starter and that had the same problem. then we put the original starter back on and it now wouldn't engage either. is this an ignition problem, a grounding issue, or what?

yup we have power on the red cable and to the solenoid, its auto, the fuses look good inside and out except the security system fuses have been removed by the previous owner. there is a ground to the frame from the starter.
