I had a 92' 5.0 with the same problem.I ended up replacing the starter to fix it.My problem was that i had full length headers on mine which ran right next to the starter causing it to get hot and go bad.These starters aint cheap because they are "high torque".First make sure your starter solenoid is a good one.That may be a problem even if you did buy a new one.After that,the starter is the only thing left.Like i said they aint cheap,but you could try a junkyard.Good luck

It sounds like your starter solenoid is sticking. Replace it and you should take care of the prob. I have had it happen on several occassions. Fairly simple replacement, it's located on the fenderwell just in front of the strut tower on the drivers side. If I remember right I think it costs between $15 and $20, good luck!!!!!

If the grid is going down, I turn on the engine and connect a Radio Shack 350W inverter to the battery so i will shop using the computing gadget or television. i am going to shop the engine operating for 2 to three hours. intense priced certain, yet i have were given to have that Yahoo! solutions. I overlook yet i imagine the inverter value round 50 or 75 money. Very really ordinary to connect. a baby can do it. I Cr thirteen;8a

Sounds like a bad starter solenoid

I would think its the starter solonoid. Unhook the trigger wire off the solonoid, red with blue tracer wire. If it is still cranking then the solonoid is bad, if it stops then there is a short in the trigger wire. Also try tapping the solonoid when it is acting up and see if it stops.
