Either Battery, starter solenoid, ignition switch (recall), or starter.

Check battery connections, I think thats it.

Possible TFI module?

Could be a host of things, next time it won't start see if you have headlights?

Agreed. Clean and tighten the battery connections.

Take care,

If it is your battery connection, it could be because the connection is dirty. If so, I would disconnect the battery, then mix a tsp of baking soda in with a little bit of water, then slowly pour it on to each end. Then, let it sit for about 15 min disconnected. It worked for me :-)
