Contacts in your starter are worn:

can you describe it a little further...are you referring to the actual ignition, is the key turning, etc?

I had an issue several weeks ago, that sounds similar to yours. The key would turn only a few positions, but not all the way to start. When I called some local shops they all told me it was the starter. Obviously it wasn't the starter, since it (the ingition) wasn't turning that far. I ended up calling a friend of mine who is a locksmith. It ended up being some worn-out tumblers in the lock/ignition. They were removed and she fires right up now.

no, rdlsz24 called it, you have starter problems. Most likely the starter contacts. Have a look on 4crawlers page, he has a write-up on replacing them.

probably could also check your grounds. i think there are 3 of them total. i had that same problem with mine a few years back and it was the ground. i followed the ground wires to found 2 were loose and corroded. i would turn the key and it would just click once and wouldnt do nothin, then i would keep tryin it till it would eventually start. i would definately check it out, if thats the case its free to fix.
