starting pobable cause?

hey guys i have a quick question. ive been having problems with my starter as well. it starts fine in mornings and stuff but then when i start it after it sits in the sun for about a few hours it wont start. so i was woundering if this was similar to your problems? and if its the vats. (btw the starter is a couple months old nib from auto store)my dad claims the vats is setting it off.i thought i might ask some opinions. and does anone have a diagram for a direct link to starter/toggle or push button? and could i run it threw the vats so it will only be enabled wit the key in the ignition?
recap:
1. starts fine in morning, and most after noons
2. doesnt start in lots of heat
3. starter is fairly new
4.can i wire a vats+key in open= to push button start? or toggle start?
5.volts show that i have 8-9 volts(like a low battery) but then once my car is jumped it starts fine. does this mean its a wire problem/fuse relay? or is it VATS
6. Gaurenteed to start with a jump. (if it was a VATS problem it still wouldnt start wit the jumpstart ? am i right?)
old wiring is
