Youngster, you need to check back through the previous posts. This comes up about every three or four days. Chances are real good that it is the ignition switch (not the keyed switch) which is located inside the plastic housing around the steering column. If its not that, then it likely is the starter.

Take it to AutoZone so they can test it and tell you the answer to this.

Nope, mine got progressively worse over a fairly long period of time.

Use another car... typically that's what common sense would point to.

Dude...NmexMax....your so harsh...but hilarious at the same time.

To the guy before this...I took mine out...hopped in my moms subaru...and went to Advanced Auto Parts...got it tested...got my answer....went back outside....sat in the car....turned the key....started the engine....went home...got out of the car...installed all parts back onto the car....and...and...should I keep going?
