Most likely the starter. The starter and solenoid are integral and the plunger on the solenoid gets all gunk'd up not allowing it to fully return home and close the contacts. Sometimes you can clean it up, but depending upon how many yrs./mi. are on the car, pulling it to clean it is the same work as just replacing it, so consider this because if you clean it and return it, it could fail sooner rather than later and you'll have to do the job again.
