    hahaha same shit happens to me, with me... It's my ignition switch, I had it checked out and it was going to be around 400$ to fix. I have to turn the key quick to start it up, or it wont start.

    Good luck bro! maybe your problem is something else?

    Will the car not crank? Or does it just crank and crank and crank and never start? If it doesn't crack it could be anything from the starter to the wiring to the relay to the Ignition switch. Starters are usually about $200 brand new. Wires and relays can be changed fairly cheap. Ignition switch will cost you about $60.

    If the car cranks but doesn't want to start up then it would be best to take it somewhere and have it check out. Preferably somewhere that it can be logged with Evoscan or something.

    For Ignition switch change it does not need re-programming, I changed mine and had no issues. I believe they are talking about the immobilizer.

    sounds like it could be starter going out, when it wont start try tapping the starter with a hammer, if it starts your starter is taking a shit

    my check list... battery is good, fuel getting to my fuel rail, checked all the fues... so pretty much my car starts right now i drive it around the block just fine i get back home and turn it off and try to start it again and stuppers out... the starter is fine it cranks every time, one thing i noticed is the fans are going on full blast while cranking the engine and stay on for 30 seconds after i stoped

    I have same problem. I just change my starter. Right after i was done i started and it started but few hours later it was same problem. Ima go for ignition switch next. So maybe start by switching the ignition switch aince its cheaper and can save couple bucks for next person that has same problem. Cars with some miles have that problem.
