Bill,
My car started doing this last year and I had my
mechanic put in starter bypass relay, whereby it would
tie directly to the battery to ensure the car would
start.
Not sure of the exact schematic (can't remember off
hand), but ever since he did it, I've had no issues
whatsoever. He used to do on older Fiat 2000 spiders
that would get the same symptoms.
Cheers,
Paul Hughes
