I don't understand your english very well, but the starter has a switch inside that has a copper bar that can get burnt. It can cause the starter not to work all the time. It can be replaced if you can remove your starter and take it apart.

Most likely, it's the starter solenoid contacts and plunger...these can be purchased as a kit on eBay. It's really no more difficult to fix this than it is to swap in a new starter, but a lot less expensive; once it's out, part replacement is very simple.

If it happens to not be the starter. I have seen the battery cables get pretty corroded on these things with high mileage/age. Usually when you wiggle the cable it can intermittently make good contact. you can cut back the insulation a tad on the negative cable and the positive to see if you notice any green corrosion. might be something to look at.
