So I am having a similar problem with a cherokee. I suspect the flywheel but won't be sure until this weekend. You may also try the neutral safety switch. Just to be sure. I turn the key while shifting from park to drive. You should hear the click from the starter in park and neutral. If not, that may be your problem.

The relay could be week . Even though you here it click it may not be making a good connection inside. Also as Jacaonod wrote could be it is not all the way in park. Try starting it in nutral.
