its not uncommon for a vehicle w/ your mileage to have worn starter contacts. 4crawler has a good writeup on how to replace them. even though his is for a 1st gen, it is still the same process. try searching "3rd gen starter" or "3rd gen starter replacement" to see if you can find some threads on the topic. ive seen 2 or 3 threads on it. i recall that the starter is a little difficult to take out though but replacing the brushes is easy and signficantly cheaper than replacing the starter
