Got to check the connections. The connections at the battery as well as at the solenoid/starter. There may also be an ignition switch problem but this would likely cause other problems as well. The connections should clean and tight and if your battery terminals are an after market type the part where the cable goes inside the terminal needs to be checked and cleaned if it can be disassembled. The starter solenoid is usually mounted on a fender close to the battery in the engine compartment and are notorious to cause failure and often times intermittent failures as well (one time it works another time it doesn't).
