If its the little one then there is something wrong on the ignition side of things. 1000mv equals 1v by the way so u should have 12k if reading mv. 400mv could just be voltage noise. Or a bad ground. U hooked the ground up on the block right?
could be a bad battery..
battery with enough volts will turn on the components in the car but if it doesnt have over 450 amps it wont start the car..
(450 amps could be wrong, when i tested mine it read 212 amps and it was nowhere near good, soo maybe anything higher then 300?)

idk like i said just have pep boys test it.. if its bad then its the battery,
get a new one and if it still doesnt start the car its the big wire going to the starter.. replace that and should be running!
