Ever since I put on my remote start, my car sometimes just doesn't want to start. I'll go and drive somewhere, and when I come back and go to turn the key, it doesn't do anything. All the lights come on, but there's no *click* or anything in the engine compartment. It always starts eventually, but sometimes it takes a few minutes. I've read a bit in other threads, so I'm thinking it's the ignition switch. So two questions: Does it sound like a problem with the ignition switch? And where is it? Thanks guys...:)

Since you put on the remote start, id check the relays for the remote start itself and the wiring. I used to have a 4th gen accord and it would crank over but wouldnt start occasionally, and the relays for the alarm system were flaky so i took out the alarm and wired everything back up and it worked no problem.

I really don't want to take out the remote start thought :( Thanks for the info though!
