That sounds like a bad connection to me. There is the main power wire, I would check that to make sure you have a really good connection. I would also make sure there is no heavy corrosion on the battery terminals and the main power terminals on the firewall.
If all these check out, it could be you got a faulty starter. Not common if you bought a new one but more common on a reman starter.
