    Intermittent no start

    After reading a bunch of old threads, I couldn't find a problem that was just like mine. Once in a while, my car won't start, the starter turns, but nothing else. Eventually, it will start. I haven't been able to pin down a constant factor when it happens. My first thoughts were fuel filter ot ignition. Any suggestions?

    Main relay...

    It's most likely your main relay. Do a search about that and you should find plenty of info.
    I like to think of my car as a sleeper. Sometimes it seems like it is sleeping.

    I agree Main Relay. Also you can should be able to cycle the key and listen for the fuel pump to kick in and when it does it should start. Thats better then just cranking it over and over till it starts.
    **Some Info on my car can be found here **
