you mean intermittent starter operation ?
( and not 'cranks but only fires up intermittently'  )

I have one van right now..
have to hold the key in the 'start' position for a few seconds before
the starter starts going.
Figure that ignition key is getting tired.

what grade of starter ?
I've had no luck with non-bosch rebuilts.

which trans ?
if manual ..how is the starter bushing ?
