Wont Start.....Sometimes

Seems that my AE82 100kw 4AGE has developed a tendancy not to kick over everytime. When you turn the key, it just clicks and there is nothing, like that battery is flat, but then you do it again (maybe a few times) and it is fine, most of the time it starts as normal first go, but on the odd occasion it annoys me by not starting.
Im guessing something simple in the electrics, but not sure where to start, any ideas???
Thanks
Mick

have you tried cleaning/tightening your battery terminals?

Could be anything really.
The most commong things to check are:
-Battery
-Alternator
-Starter
-Fuses
But sounds like your starter motor is playing up. Usually theres a solenoid within the starter that either wears out or gets jammed, which is why banging the crap of of your starter allows it to crank over.
Get out your multimeter and check your dc voltage for everthing, and even your resistance on your leads, and also check your dizzy points.
