1990 5.7 that will be completely dead at the key one time and if you release and try again will turn over the next time. I have replaced the starter,altenator,battery cables, and key switch all over the last 12-18months. It has never not started but several times has taken 3 or 4 trys before it will turn over. I have checked my connections on battery, starter, trim motor. Is there anyway to test the safety that won't let you start it while in gear? Any other ideas?

Sounds like it may be your assist or slave solenoid going out.
