Try to clean all cables to battery and starter. A bit of oxidation may be causing the problem, or your battery has a bad cell and is about to go. Especially if the battery is over 5 years old.
check the temperature sender for your fuel and emissions (not same as sender for gauge is most cases) if fuel injected, if carburated check choke. also ensure plugs and wires are in good shape
there is a problem with your iginition timing. it is most probably overly advanced. have an experienced mechanic check your ignition timing. the mechanic should check the distributor, camshaft, and crankshaft timings.
