Numerous complaints read on the car randomly not starting. Same problem as the rest, However though I have not yet found the problem I have found that there is a cable that if you move around it will start! the cable is located under / behind and to the left inside of what appears to be a plastic cover over the exhaust manifold at the front of the vehicle. Reach your hand inside just under the "Y" where the "Manifold" comes together to a single pipe. It may be warm if the car was recently running but I have never been burned by it.
The cable feels like it may be a battery cable of some sort. I will investigate further and re post if I find anything.
