Intermitent starting problem
My Camaro has recently developed a problem starting. A few days a go, it wouldn't start (it would crank, but wouldn't catch). After a few more tries over the course of 5 minutes, it started. Today, the same problem occurred, but this time, it never did start.
I had it towed to a local shop, whereupon it started right up.
The mechanic so far has been unable to find anything wrong. I didn't notice it throwing any codes, and I haven't had any stalling problem either.
Does anyone have any ideas? I really can't afford to not to find the problem and risk losing yet another day of work because of this.

if it would crank there is absoultely no reason to replace the starter.. Did it stall when the car was warm? I would start turning my attention to the ignition system.
