12.6v when? While cranking? At rest?

Most likely a starter or solenoid going bad. It will only have a problem when it stops on the dead spot.

it could be a loose power or ground wire going to the starter also, but probably not since it's a 2000. just a possibility

Check grounding wire, there was a recall on my 2000. so may want to check into that.

I read a bulletin. It said 1998 to 2000 ignition has too many volts at the ignition it may start a fire if you crank it to long GM will fix the problem. anyways it also said it might not make the car start.
