It's a common problem with the MkIII, not enough voltage going to the starter through the ignition wiring. You can work around it as Interested says, but it's just that, a work-around. I've got the exact same issue in my '88, and have somewhat isolated it to the wiring near the ignition switch. Haven't locked it down yet, and am forced to use a HD relay and momentary switch to get by until I really figure it out.
