Starting system problem!

Alright, here we go.
1990 FWD Turbo Laser 5sp.
Since I started my car the first few times I have had starting system problems. When I go to turn the car over I hear the ECU click, and the starter will make a small noise, and then nothing. So first instinct is dead battery, charge it up, and it still does the same thing. Change batterys, and it does the same thing. Charge that battery, still no go. Then I decide to change the starter and it worked fine for a whole 20 minutes. As soon as I got to where I was going, it was back to just clicking.

So I have 2 good starters, 2 good batteries, both of them charged, I hear the ECU and starter make noise which pretty much means its not an ignition switch. It also isn't a battery or a starter. What are my other options as to what it might be? Everything on the starter is connected properly, and when I push start the car it runs fine, but after it dies, its dead.

Whats odd though, is that every once in a while when I try it and hit the key, it will turn over and start normally. I find that odd. So I also doubt it is a lack of amperage going to the starter, although it could be. What do you guys think it might be?
