^ Still a battery problem. A starter motor uses a huge amount of power to turn over, so your battery must be at very high levels to turn over properly.

Hook up your voltimeter to your current battery and then turn the car over. You will see that it holds 12.5 volts at normal, but as soon as you turn the key it will drop down to 3 or 4 volts. The same will probably happen to your bench battery.

Get a new battery and eliminate that first. More than likely your car will start.
