THE CAR WILL START 1ST TIME SOMETIMES OR SEVERAL TURNS LATER. CHECKS SHOW STARTER IS NOT RECEIVING THROUGH SMALL BLACK PLUG (SWITCH LIVE POSSIBLY) NEW BATTERY & STARTER FITTED.
It that is a plug on to a spade terminal that will be the power wire from the ignition switch
have an auto electrician check it out as it could be a faulty ignition switch or starter relay
Testimonial: "Hi Bill, Yes,it is the black spade terminal onto the starter motor. I know my way round electrics Bill, any pointers on checks, apart from the fuse."

I had the exact same problem on my 1998 Chevrolet 1500 c/k pickup. I also tried a new starter motor and solenoid assembly, but to no avail.
After weeks of searching for the problem, I found that corrosion had built up between the car battery terminals and the power cables extended from the car battery to the starter motor. I'm not sure if this is your problem, but it's worth a try. Also, check all other electrical connections, because these types of intermittent problems are often electrical.

I would recommend changing the positive battery cable! You may have a bad cable and it could either be broke on the inside and wiggling it causes it to make contact. cables are nothing to play with because i have seen cars catch fire and burn up from having a short and then grounding out against frame. If you cant do it your self please have someone look at it because all it would take is for you to go into a store and come out to a carbque.

More than likely the starter solenoid has burnt contacts in it, this is a common problem with all Denso designed starter motors used in almost all Japanese cars and light trucks. You can either try and find a solenoid or just replace the starter. The solenoid can be repaired if you can find the contact kit for it, most are available on line for about $20, just google it.

Sounds like the starter solenoid on the starter has failing contacts, and needs replacing.
