My card decided to take on an attitude problem. When I turn the key sometimes it starts sometimes it doesn't. All the lights come on and the ding thing makes the right noise but when I turn the key to start there is nothing not even a click. Usually if I wait a bit and try a few more times it will start. When it does start there is no hesitation at all. I am confused as to what the problem could be.

Check the starter and ignition wires that fixed our problem when our cutlless did that

Yes check the starter motor. Try tapping it with a hammer when it wont start.
