I had my automatic tranny rebuilt a while back and when i got the van back
my starter started acting dodgy. Would start fine this day but not the
next.  Progressively got worse.  To make a long story short I found that
the grounding cable back by the transmission mount was not tightened.
Cleaned the contact surface, tightened the contact cable bolt and vroom,
she started first and every time since.
