Hello, I'm Danny.

Since after you bang around the hood and it starts it sounds like you might be having an issue with the starter motor solenoid. It might be sticking and is built onto the starter motor. Most auto parts stores will test for free. Here are a few tutorials for you to view about starter solenoid operation and removal:
