It is probably your battery. Sometimes when they don't hold a charge the electrical systems act up. Also make sure the starter connections are tight and clean.

yes the battery has been replaced,and the cables as well,however one question on the cables the original cable was tied to the batt tray should it remain that way if so i may have to mod the new cable
