Trace your battery negative cable to it's endpoint on the engine, check for looseness or damage. Check the other ground strap at the rear of the engine to the firewall.

If no visible indications, remove, clean, and reinstall both cables at both ends.

How many miles do you have on that starter? Sounds like a trip to Autozone.
