I had this same problem with mine. I took it to a reliable rebuilder and had it fixed. Within a month the intermittent problem was back. I took it back in to be looked at again. The starter checked out as good so he took it apart to visually check it out. He found a copper to aluminum connection had come apart inside the starter. He had never run into this problem before and said that he would fix this connection on all other starters that came in.
