starter maybe?

The armature in the starter could be bad. Or else it's not grounded good enough. Check grounds first, tighten them down a little bit and then try it again.

That was happening to me for awhile, replaced the battery and it was still happening. Replaced the starter and it was all good.

A re-man starter is expensive though. Either get your starter rebuilt and it should cost u less than $100. Mine was $60 but it might vary for your area. Or you could buy one from someone on tuners here or else ebay.

A re-man starter, at least around here, is like $90 if you return yours to them. New online at www.4alterstart.com is $137.
