starter or something else?
sometimes I turn the key and nothing happens until I try it bout 3 to 4 times then it starts. I mean no click from starter when I say nothing happens. other times I can get in it and it turns right over. vats has been bypassed.

Re: starter or something else?
Yes! the starter relay, drove me nuts also, exact same problem you are describing. It is located behind the kick panel next to your left foot.
I've enclosed a pick of it, hope I did this correctly. Easy to replace and should solve your issue.
Good luck

Re: starter or something else?
thanks for the replies. I put new starter on my car and haven't had anymore problems. I think the solenoid was bad in the old one.
