This is a common problem with Chevrolet vehicles. If you can jump the current across the starter solenoid (battery cable to S terminal - purple wire) and it always starts, then the battery, ground, and starter are good. It could be the solenoid, or the wiring and switches that send current to the solenoid have bad connection or resistance that does not give enough current to engage the solenoid. Here are a couple of threads for this problem.

because for us Europeans to buy this particular parts, is very difficult, in fact, I asked to Painless, and they said do not have the fuse case for my car.
