Maybe a problem with theft/security system? I can't help you bypass, just stating a possibility. Do you have the pellet in the key? When the problem occurs, your saying the starter won't crank? Try wiping the pellet with a clean rag, try a different key. When the problem occurs, did you try cranking in neutral? The purple wire at the starter solenoid S terminal should be hot with the key in the crank position.
