Jason, if I were u I would check out the starter solenoid. Sometimes you cant tell by looking at it but just replace it anyway. Im unaware of where yours might be. I have an 87 and mines on the left side fender wall behind the battery, but your may be right on the starter. Hope this helps.  |

Replace the starter solenoid, it's the little black doohickey on the passenger-side fender that the positive battery cable connects to. It's about $15. Also, check the condition of the wiring hooked up to it, there's a couple of fusable links and a wire to the starter. |

It depends sometimes, it just one of those things that decides to go whenever they want to. You can check it with a multi-meter |
