starting problems

Ok When I got to start my car i have to try like maybe 20-25 times to get it to turn over.I can turn the key and nothing happens! I have heard this is a classic 4th gne problem. So what do I need to do to fix this problem?

What he said, I'd say starter, but check the ignition as well.

Take out one of the bolts on the tranny and put the ground under that bolt then attach to the battery

Running a ground to the starter will make the biggest difference.

The starter bolts are 14mm and 17mm I believe.

My starting problem began on my first "ROAD TRIP" with this car, (from S. Carolina to Wisc. 2150 miles round trip) anyway, I stoped at a rest area,, when I came out the key turned, but notta,, tried again cranked fine.. did it again a while later,,then was OK for a few days, then did it again,, kept getting worse, now today it was a no go. Since I bought this car in August, I have replaced the Battery, starter, alternator, now start switch and I suppose another starter (on warranty thankfull) oh yeah replaced the CV Joints as well.
