Starter?
When I put my key into the ignition, sometimes I turn it and I hear a click and my engine doesn't turn on. If I do it a couple of times it'll finally turn on. Once I was driving and I got to a stop sign and the car just turned off. I turned it back on and it worked fine after that. What do you guys think is wrong?

this could be a lot of things: starter, ignition (possible recall for your year), or it could be a bad connection.
i have had this problem before with other cars and it's usually the starter, but it has also been corrosion on a battery post or a loose battery connection, so that was the very first thing i checked and that was ok, so i assumed it was the starter.
so i buy a starter and tried to install it but couldn't get the mounting bolts off with hand tools, so i rewire and put back together and it works fine now---my guess is that it was a bad connection on the starter and not the battery----so check them before you waste time and $$

I have the exact same thing going on with my car, and it is weird because if the car is real cold, it starts right up, could be the solenoid. I guess I should check the wiring though.
