5 V would probably not start the car. There must be a problem with
your VOM. It's possible that the real number is the sum of the 2
readings, like you say. Let your VOM warm up inside for a couple
hours and see if it stops doing that. Try turning it on with the 2
leads shorted together.
If it persists, see if you can return it and exchange for a good one.
