My first thought is that you have some ditry or worn ignition switch contacts. Could also be some contact problems in the balance of the igniton circuit eg. fuse area, coil area. Try an ignition key bypass connection via a 20 amp fuse and see if the problem persists. If the symptom stops, you have your answer.
