Just hope to help someone else from the unknown. First thought it might be bad ground some place. So, I cleaned and scraped the battery post, terminal clamps, and ground cable to frame of car. Didn't solve, so researched internet more to see someone else had these issues and replaced the Crank Shaft Position Sensor and it was cured! I just wanted to CONFIRM!
