E150 start intermittent problems

For more than a year, I have intermittent start problem with my 1995 E150 cargo van. When I inserted the key and turn to start, it only had click sound and didn't start, tried again and no action. Surprisely if I rotate the wheel little and it might start right away. With problem and solution, I got used to
it and repeat same step once it didn't start. But few times on the roads, it hardly started and I pushed it to side highway and waited. It started at the end.

But since last saturday It getting worse and worse, even didn't start no matter how I rotated the wheel. At then end I had to walk home and left it on the road. Crazy enough sunday morning I walked 2 miles back to where I left it and I rotated the wheel and it started.

Monday afternoon , it didn't start again, no matter what. I was thinking it could be the battery problem, because as soon as I jump start and it started right away. So I bought a brand new battery, clean the cables nicely. It started with one or two click. Was thinking brand new battery and might not fully charged.

Tuesday whole day, it didn't start again, but with 2 or 3 times rotate the wheel and it started finally.

This problem driving me nut and restless.

Anyone out there might have solution to fix this damp problem ??

Your kind help is greatly appreciated.
