Guys, just thought I'd add my 2 cents because my issue literally started right after I tuned my car with MHD. - even though MHD WASN'T the cause...

The starter power cable that runs from the passenger side power terminal broke inside the connector INSIDE the red shrink wrap. It wasn't until I was reinstalling my new starter that I realized the cables were completely corroded and loose inside the connector. HOLDING THE CABLE TO THE POWER TERMINAL WONT WORK. Get a new connector, re-crimp, solder if possible and heat shrink. I attached some pics to help visualize.

Hope this saves someone $450+ and countless hours of labour and troubleshooting.
