Unfortunately, what you describe could result from several problems with the starter system. First, heat increases resistance to the flow of electricity. If you have not replaced the primary wires (the big fat ones) from battery to starter and cleaned all terminals and connectors, do so. The cost is less than $20 and parts are available at your FLAPS. If the problem persists, then it could be your solenoid is heating up and "sticking". When it cools down, the contraction allows it to function normally again. Finally, make sure your battery is putting out good amps. A weak battery will have trouble activating the solenoid under certain conditions. Good luck!
