i think you'll find that the solenoid contacts inside the starter are worn. it sounds like the bendix it moving to close the contacts but they are worn down too much to complete the electrical connection. if the connections are good and it does it often, pull the starter and have it tested. my 88 3.9 did that and i changed the contacts. that was about 10 years ago and it has been fine. having said that, i know it will die tomorrow.
