When I go to start my car I hear a click, a sec or 2 and then another click. I do it a couple more times and then it starts.. Sometimes depending on how i move the key it will take shorter or longer to turn.... before it starts.... Is that the starter.. It's been doing that for about a year and i think it's getting worse...

Also When I run the car for a little while and "For example" Get gas. Turn off the car go to start it up... It takes a while to Crank. It's 90 weather in fl so.. I know its hot ans nneds to cool off but still... what could I do to prevent this...?

THANKS

Could be a few things. Either its a weak solenoid, a weak battery, or bad/corroded power/ground connections. Check for corrosion first, if thats not it check out the battery.
