I just got done dealing with the exact same problem.  It has gone on for a
couple years until about a month ago when it began to not start at all every
once in a while.  I tested everything from the wires to the solenoid to the
ignition switch.  I finally decided that my old 170k mile starter must just be
bad.  So I replaced it and it still did it.  I was MAD.  I took my dashboard
completely out figuring I would eventually find the fault in a wire.  I did,
and it was the starter kill feature of my alarm which I had told the guy NOT
to install.  So, if you have an alarm and it is connected to your starter wire
you may want to check that. HTH!!!
