CHECK ALL FUSES SOME HAVE STARTER RELAY FUSES ALSO MAKE SURE TRANSMISSION IS FIRMLY IS PARK MAY HAVE A STARTER SAFETY RELAY CAR WONT START UNLESS PARK IS ACHIEVED.....GOOD LUCK
whenever it wants? Bad karma! Seriously, check your connections to the starter and the solenoid on the starter. That's the big (battery) cable to starter, and the small wire (purple, I think) on the solenoid thats on the starter. If they are tight and clean, you could check if 12 volts are registering at the starter with the key on (engine off. just turn key on.), or, just take off your starter and have it tested at like, Autozone. See, Jose? its either your starter or the connections to it. Sometimes a bad ignition switch will cause a no-crank situation, but if your dash lights come on when you turn key on, it's likely your starter. If starter and solenoid are o.k. you'll have to get your starting circuit diagnosed. I'd bet on the starter or solenoid,though.
CHECK THE OTHER COOLING FAN FUSE AND RELAY.IF BOTH GOOD HOT WIRE COOLING FAN TO SEE IF FAN RUNS IF NOT YOU HAVE A BAD FAN MOTOR NEED TO REPLACE FAN MOTOR.IF FAN RUNS WHEN YOU HOT WIRE IT.FAN MOTOR WIRE CONNECTORS HAS A SHORT.
It sounds like a bad starter. You can take it to an auto parts store and have them check it. If it is not the starter then check to make sure there is power to the starter. Then take a test light and check that there is power at the main battery cable that hooks to the starter cylinoid. If there is power there, check both of the small posts ( one that has a wire to it) With the key in the start position, check power on the small terminal of the cylinoid. If you have power there, you have a bad starter, if not then you may have a bad switch. I would start by taking the starter to the parts store first.
Worst case or one suggestion might be the timing chain. I bet I get some flack here from pros and dealer techs, but the slow cranking is what I keyed off of. Iam sure the knowledgable olds folks will help you. Also bad battery cables,bad starter or just it's solenoid. Do you feel it is a starter issue as in cranking or no start as won't stay running?
problem could be the ignition key and switch or the theft deterrent module relay is bad or the theft deterrent module is faulty.this is a dealership fix.
It could possibly be the starter, but before you get that far make sure the Battery cables are connected very tight. If loose the car won't start or do anything. Also make sure the battery cable is grounded.
