my beater car sometimes can't start! i turn the key but nothing. no crank just dashboard lights like 5-6 times before it will start and crank over. any ideas before i change the starter....i'm thinking it's the solinoid(sp) in the starter not lining together? thanks in advance

 

Ignition switch is going bad, its $30 from the dealer.

 

it is probably the ignition switch, but if that won't fix it then i would guess the starter

 

Here you go

 

Sounds like ignition switch. It is a common problem.
