neutral saftey switch could be somewhere to start.

When I turn the key and this has only happened a few times, but I hear a click, but the starter does not engage unless I turn the ignition back off then on then it turns over fine.

IT is a click like a relay engaging, but the starter just not getting a signal to spin the engine over.

Ashman...

Sounds like starter solenoid. OTHERWISE you wouldn't hear the "click"
