Exclamation Issues with starting the car

So it's happened a couple of times now where I try to start the car and it acts as if the battery is dying... but then after a couple of cranks it starts up. It idles inconsistent for a few minutes then returns to normal. I do have to enter the radio code again and the doors lock when this happens.

Any ideas? I am thinking starter, battery, fuel pump?

Thanks.

Sounds like you might have a bad/loose connection. I'd check the terminals first, then if that's ok, I'd take it to your local parts store and have them check the battery. most places will check it for free these days.

Yeah that's when mine happens, it's after it's been sitting there for quite some time.
