Okay so the other day I had to take some crap over to a friends house. I get there and pull in the driveway behind his car, shut off my car and carry the stuff in. When I'm ready to go I hop back in my car and turn the key and....nothing. Doesn't even try to start, lights and radio and all come on but it wouldn't start. It didn't sound like a dead battery...how it would try to start but not be able to or have just a clicking sound...no clicking sounds, no nothing...turned the key several times.

Well....I get out and pop the hood and look around at some wires and such but I can't see anything that looks wrong to me. I close the hood and get back in and turn the key and wham...it starts like it always has. What's up with this? It has never ever failed to start before. The only difference that I could find was that the car was on a bit of an incline as the rear wheels were on the road and the front were a bit higher on his driveway. Could this have something to do with it? Doesn't seem right....I've parked it on a slightly inclined driveway before and had no problems...hell I've driven the thing in San Fran :P

Any ideas? Could it be the Anti-Theft thing is going out? Also one more question...I plan on having an alarm installed in the next month or two and am wondering if the Anti-Theft will interfere with it as both can disable the ignition. Would it be best to just have the Anti-Theft thing taken out or will it be okay to leave it in?

 

Starter solenoid.

 

have your starter tested before it happens more and more and leaves you stranded one day.
