Help 2001 pontiac montana starter problems

I have no clue it was about my 2001 pontiac montana and the starter issue I replaced it and the gage clusters are jumping around I believe it might be a voltage regulator problem also Ive noticed the starter is sparking upon trying to start it. The car wont start unless its jumped. What would make it spark why wont it start unless its jumped any help would be great. Thanks.

it's sparking because the starter is shorting or wires are hitting someplace they shouldn't be. you may have a bad battery as well.get them both checked
