First I would try to tighten the bolts you touched if starter bolts are loose it is not getting a good ground to start the vehicle if it still does it most likely starter needs to be replaced.

If your Camaro is showing that the security light is on and you know the car will crank sometimes try putting some electrical grease on the key where the metal pieces come out the sides
