Intermittent starts we have replaced the alternater, replaced the starter and relays, however the car starts up without a problem for days on end, then at times it does not turn over....no check engine codes are showing up
One the occasions when it does not turn over, does the engine crank?
Also, at this time, when the key is in the ON position, are the ignition lights, etc on?One the occasions when it does not turn over, does the engine crank?

I assume the engine is cranking, but just not starting.
With the ignition ON, does the fuel pump run in this condition? If not, look for electrical issues with the fuel pump. If it does run, check to be sure you have proper fuel pressure.

if what you say say is true-prove the click with a good power source like another vehicle attached with jumper cables-then bite the bullet and replace the starter motor
Assuming you replaced the solenoid with the starter, it may be the relay. If the relay is not making a good connection, it might have trouble throwing the solenoid. The relay should be in the relay box under the hood. You can break the relay open and watch it work while someone turns the key to verify the problem.
more than likely it sounds like your starter is either messed up or your relay to the starter has went out i would start by checking your relays and fuses thats the cheapest way then if that doesn't do the job then you might have to pull the starter and have it checked.
u may have low voltage to starter try cleaning the ends of the battery cables and the battery terminals and alternater ends if it still happens replace starter u may have a dead spot in it that may be way it startes right away or takes several atemptes to start the starter is the best bet
Clean your battery terminal contact surfaces and verify actual battery voltage (should be at least 12v) Also check that both battery cables are secure and clean on other end. Then, check starter relay if problem continues.
Been having the same problem. Ended up replacing the grey wire from the fuel pump relay to the fuel pump. The grey wire leaves the relay and then branches in two. One wire goes to the ECM to tell it the fuel pump has power. The other goes to the fuel pump.
Take the car in, and have the fuel pump checked, and maybe the alternater. Something in there is going out. Could even be lose battery cables, or a lose connection. Either way, you should have it checked before you get stuck somewhere.
