Angry 2002 GT starts when it wants to!

Ok, when i turn the key the dash lights up and everything works. I push in the clutch and attempt to start the car....nothing. no clicks just silence. I checked the clutch switch and its fine. The relay is good too so i replaced the starter and it fired right up, drove it home and parked it. Went to start it today and NOTHING! Same crap ive been going thru for weeks now. I find if i disconnect the positive cable from the battery for about 5 mins this helps it start again. What could it possibly be? Thanks!!!

Do you have a second key? If you do, try starting it with that. The chip in my key went bad one time and the car wouldn't start.
