Check engine ground cable from negative battery cable to engine crankcase, check for corrosion & being tight.

Seems it would have to be electrical. A week starter and/or battery as Mark is talking about.
I had a battery on my Ford Bronco, that showed a full charge. But would hardly turn the motor over... New battery, and whamooo, fixed the problem.
