Could be, but first I would verify that you have a good ground strap
connection to the block -- braided cable from a timing cover bolt to the
d/s engine mount. Also be sure that the nut that holds the big cable
from the solenoid to the back of the starter is tight (they can work
loose). There are other things to check but I would begin with those.
