2k SE - anyone haveing this problem??

On 3 or 4 occasions when I turn the key nothing happens as though there is no electrical connection from the ignition to the starter.
Anyone else have this happen?
After 4 or 5 trys, it does start as though nothing is wrong. A little disconcerning.

Are you an automagic or manual?

I believe automatics are supposed to have a lockout switch that allows ignition only when in park or neutral. Could be that switch is going bad.

You should try checking the battery cable connections too. If they are loose, your car will exhibit the same symptoms.

Hope that helps!
