So common its almost a garaunteed issue.  Adding a 30Amp relay will cure this..

I would have to look for the details and pictures of this.

Do a look up on a "Bosch relay".  The start signal is a  wire running to the starter solenoid. For what ever reason from time to time there is a voltage drop to the starter solenoid and this relay has be the fiix. The wire color as been generally blue.

You can install it close to starter. It's about as  big cas a large ice cube.

Sorry anyone have a picture of how they installed.

Electrical not one of my strong points.

Here is what it looks like.  You can see relay tucked in behind the solenoid. Thanks PhanDad for pics.
