[Shotimes] Problem starting

Hello,

I am new to this list but have been a long time SHO owner.  I bought a '95
manual SHO last year and I've been experiencing a problem on occasion, and was
wondering if anyone might have some insight.

Every once in a while, I will stop for gas or to run into a store (always a
short visit) and will return to my car, turn the key, and get...nothing.  It's
getting power (radio turns on, etc.) but it does not even try to turn over.  I
fool with the fuel pump shutoff switch in the trunk (which has not been
tripped), wait 5-10 minutes, and it starts up without a problem.  However,
this has happened 4 or 5 times now and is beginning to get annoying.  Does
this sound like I need a new starter?  The only other time my starter went on
my last SHO, there was no miraculous recovery.  It just died.  Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John
