When this occurs do your interior lights and/or dashboard warning lights go dim?

If so, it suggests the starter has indeed stalled. It's sucking up a ton of amps but isn't turning. It further suggests that everything in the starting circuit is OK....except the starter.

I dont think they did but ill have to check. I started the car this morning so I dont foresee starting being a problem today but ill wait till I have the problem again and throw a voltmeter on the battery to see whats going on. If not I guess I have some electrical work/testing to do and I have a decent idea of where to start thanks to some of the other suggestions in the thread.
