Default 92 Camaro starting issues

I know I have a solinoid issue as the bendix does not engage the flywheel properly.

BUT what has been happening a few times is that I will run the car to some destination and shut it off.
When I go to restart, nothing happens other then the gauges showing me the the ignition switch is engaging.

No relay clicking, no solinoid engagment. Nothing.

After a few min to maybe half hour, everything engages.

This has happened 3 times already within a week.

I plan on repalcing the started I think but will that solve this issue????

When you turn the key over does the dash go dead? My "95 has don that a few times too.

The dash does NOT go dead.

There is just NO starter action.
All the other electronics appear to work.

I had a 91' that did this and it was the VATS that was causing the problem. I think it locks it out for 10 min or something if it doesn't see the right resistance in the key. I ended up bypassing mine.
