Sounds like your main relay is going out.

Look at the inside of the relay, look good at the solder. Usually it's a small crack in the solder that causes the relay to crap out.

mail realy is a possibility but so is the starter solenoid. next time you have this problem go whack the starter with a hammer lightly then try again. if it starts immediatley, its probably the solenoid

also, when it dosent start, do you hear a click? if you HEAR a click your relay is working. if you DONT your relay is probably bad.
