Since you have gone to that trouble, I would at least pull the starter and check/clean the solenoid contacts.

The starter was replaced about 4 or 5 years ago when we did the first plenum pull on the 94...and only has a thousand miles on it if that since that pull....was thinking of taking it out just to clean up there more thoroughly.... but then thinking not...lol.... I'll see what tomorrow brings....[emoji16][emoji16]

Dude.... pull the starter... clean it up and clean that valley up too. Youve gone too far not to.

Well I did end up removing the starter and did a cleanup in the valley...the drain hole was clear....as that was taken care of with the 1st plenum pull years ago...some pics.... btw...the FSM....mentions to torque the starter bolts to 38 lb ft.... is any type of sealer or anti seize recommended???
Pic #1...some cleaning needed for sure...
Pic #2...there is some crud there....lol...
Pic #3...used a 14" plastic tie for the drain hole....clear all the way through...
Pic #4...wiped out and looking like it should....
Pic #5...as clean as can be...an improvement from before....
Pic #6...starter back in...bolts need to be torqued down....thinking about a dab of anti-seize for future removal....

Another job added to the finished column....
