2008 Saturn Aura wont start sometimes

Won't start at times. I drove it 60 miles the other day and when I tried to start it after a couple of hours... it was fine. I drove it 6 miles down the road and stopped to get a drink and it wouldn't start. The electronics all light up but when you turn the key nothing happens. No clicking sound... just nothing.

    I had the problem earlier today for about the fifth time in the last few days. hen I finally got it started I drove it to my mechanic and he did some troubleshooting in the fuse box next to the battery. He said that the "computer" thinks that the car has started but in reality it has not. He checked for a ground underneath one of the relays and found the ground to be missing. He cleaned the connection the best he could and ut everything back together. I drove it home and tried to start it after I had been home a while and it would not start. I tried my spare key but it made no difference. The security lock on my instrument panel never lights when it won't start so I don't know if I am being locked out by the Passkey system. I went back and tried to start my car, about an hour later and it started. ????? It sure seems like something is preventing me from starting the car (security system?). It wasn't moved so that if it had a corroded wire, and I hit a bump and caused it to move thereby making a better connection.
    I am beginning to think that I am being prevented from starting the car by the security system since it allows me to start it later on after I tried ten times within a three minute period.

    Would a dealer have the proper equipment to test for these codes being sent to the key? My mechanic seems to have a late model Diagnostic Analyzer plugged into the Diag port on my car but I don't know if it is capable of tracing these codes.

Why won't 2009 Saturn aura start after driving 2 miles and forgetting to bleed transmission lines during radiator replacement

There is a good chance that the two are not related. These engines are known for having timming chain issues.How many miles are on the car? Have you had the timing chains and guides serviced yet? I would make sure all timing marks still lign up.

How often do you change the oil on the 2008 aura saturn

I have a 2008 Saturn Aura. Your car should have an oil life system. Depending on how you drive it will turn on a message to tell you to change oil. After you change oil and filter make sure you reset the oil life system. Get in car Turn key on press accelerator all the way to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds. Use 5W30 oil. I use Mobil 1 Extended and change my oil every 6,000 miles. (I'm a retired Cadillac Technician)
