I have a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder 3.0L 4x4.Long story short,alternator tests good,battery is good,starter is good.Not all the time but on occation it wont start. I can here the bendix kick in but it won’t turn over,when i jump it , it starts. I was told it sounds like a voltage issue,not enough power to the starter. Any ideas,what can iI do to check this?

And check the connections, remove and clean both ends of each battery cable.
