I have searched but cant find a problem like mine.. I have an intermittent no start... It will start fine a bunch of times but once in awhile all it does is click when warm usually.. new battery, starter, relays, cables, NSS cleaned, new ckp, grounds are good. Alt. tests ok It does crank like 5-6 times before it will start everytime but has always done that After it sits for up to 20+ mins it will start again usually.. Really starting to annoy me. Please help

Next time it happens, get a meter and measure the voltage directly at the starter with the key in the ON position.
You may be experiencing a voltage drop between the battery and the starter. Should have approximately the same voltage as you have at the battery as you do at the starter. If not, you need to work your way back into the engine bay to find out why.....
