Check for loose or corrodded clamps, posts,and cables.

If corrosion is present on the cable between clamp and insulation your not going to get enough amperage to the starter. The only thing to do with corroded cables is replace them.

The clamps can be cleaned with a wire brush. Auto parts stores have post and clamp cleaning brushes for this purpose.

Also check the groud cables (both batts) at the engine block. Make sure they are clean and tight.

Loose and corroded clamps and cables will give you this type of intermitten problem.

Good Luck
First of all...Welcome!
