well my dad told me that cars with a lot of miles tend to do this. maybe its from old age? haha

but it did start

 

ive nvr herd of them just doing it then not but its good that it strted. but i would check out that starter just in case something is wrong. if the solinoid is going out it could be working sometimes then not other times. my car did it a few times. when it got hot it wouldnt start but that was mine and yours could b different. i did it for a reason so just dont look the other way on this something i probly wrong somewhere. just my opinion take it or leave it

 

Make sure your connections are good on the battery.. Almost like your ground wire may not be getting a good connection.

 

well when we first got the car my dad was driving it for a while and he said it didnt start one time so he left it in a parking lot and then when he came back and tried to start it, it worked. i think that was because of the starter. it has rust on it alot of things on my car are rusted......

sometimes it wont start up on the first try, i press the gas a little when i start it now to make sure it starts so im pretty sure the starter is going out. i just hope it lasts till i get me a 4g63

oh and i believe the transmission is going out as well. (its an automatic) after i accelerate and then let off it jerks the car a little bit. plus one time when i was going down the highway it never shifted so i was going like 55 mph at 5k rpms.

 

if the car is turning over but not starting then its not the starter. It could just be something as simple as needing new spark plugs or something along those lines

 

well we replaced the spark plugs. what else could it be?

 

Can you smell fuel?
