Replaced starter but buzzing sound/no start sometimes

2004 TL auto, 191k
Ive had starter issues for about a month, usually I would just turn the key until she fired up.

Yesterday I started to get a buzzing sound but was still able to crank after turning the key few times.

Today, starter was shot so I replaced it. After I replaced it she buzzes and starts but sometimes buzzes and I would have to crank it several times for it to fire up.

I hear the fuel pump priming so I dont think its that. Maybe ignition relay? Could you guys tell me what the problem might be and how to locate/test it? Thanks
