Random starting problems

I searched the board and couldn't find anything similar to my problem;
The car will start sometimes, and other times it just clicks, but eventually it will crank, sometimes after 5 clicks, sometimes after 5 minutes.... Sounds like a starter problem... So I replaced it... TWICE. Not the starter. So I don't know where to look first for the problem?

Yeah, check your grounds. Its best to connect the battery ground directly to the engine block.
