I've had the same problem on my '93 Nissan pickup. I replaced my starter, the same way as described above. First I thought it was the battery then after replacing the starter I tore the old one apart and the windings pretty much decintagrated and I'm lucky it lasted that long.

My new starter does the same thing here and there but if I keep turning the key it'll start. I'm not sure if it works but I let it crank a few extra milliseconds longer and usually it will stop if not the first then at least by the second. My dad had told me that the after market starters probably were put together wrong in that after a crank it will not be in the correct position and therefore be harder to catch and turn.

This is quite a problem when it happens but doesn't so much after I replaced the starter. But after absorbing the cost of a starter I think I can live with it a little while. Those starters are quite small to last as long as they do, shoot my hand drill motor is almost as big as the starter!

Hope this helps,
