We have a 1999 camaro and we have problems getting it to start. It recently just started doing what its doing. It will start sometimes and then it won`t. We have checked the fuses, the battery. And the starter. Where can we look to find the problem and fix it.

It will start on occassion but then it won`t start again. Its getting fire to the starter but doesn`t make any sound when you turn the key. Also you can start it by the starter and it will not keep running.
