On early vehicles (prior to #2548) the starter solenoid's operating voltage, in certain conditions was not high enough to ensure a reliable operation. If your batterie is in a good condition. check the starter relay. There is a Service Bulletin (Technical) on that problem: ST-05-2/82.
I had the same problem and changed to a stronger batterie, no problems since.
It's the second relay from the top row, next to the red one.

Try starting with closed doors, you lose 1.2V with both doors open when you still have the original bulbs in the doors.
My battery had 45A/H and now has 90A/H, you need about 75A/H batterie for a V6 engine.
