In order for the starter relay to send full battery power to the starter solenoid and starter, the neutral safety switch must make a good ground with the transmission in neutral or park.

The starter switch is probably OK but could be tested by seeing if you get +12V at the ST terminal on the relay when the starter switch is turned to start.  You could also jumper from the heavy cable lug on the relay to the ST terminal.  If that works better than the starter switch-could be the switch or a bad connection at the bulkhead connector.

Now when the car sits for a while, there is no power inside the car. After a few times, everything lights up and the car starts and it if fine afterwards.
