Sounds like a dirty connection on the post of the starter relay on the
firewall. Follow the positive battery cable, this post is at the end of
it on the firewall. There are a mess of wires connecting there (the
wiring harnesses fuse links) and the loops likely need cleaning.

Re: 88 Wrangler YJ 2bbl 4.2
have fun tracing which wire, to find where it is going to ground.
I know this doesn't help and yes will take awhile to do...also clean
