Turn the ignition key, nothing happens. No noises, no click, no start. Try again, car starts just fine. Sometimes I have to re-try 3 or 4 times. When the car starts, there is no long crank, or hesitation, it just starts right up like normal. When it doesn't, there is no sound whatsoever. I have noticed that this occurs more often when the car has sat idle for a few hours. If I drive somewhere, and then start the car within a few minutes afterwards, there generally is no problem. What I am afraid of is that eventually, it might not start at all.
