When thjis happends see if you are getting voltage at the starter. Also see if there is voltage coming out of the fuse box. You may have a wire shorting out or a bad connection in the fuse box.

There is definitely power to the starter at all times, I dont think Im getting power to the solinoid though. I guess it is a short from the box to the solenoid or maybe the solenoid needs to be replaced. Just wondering if someone else has had this problem

I really didnt check, I will have to do that next time.

The reason I didnt check is that I try to start it and nothing, I might try 20 times and then for no reason it just cranks, I am still trying to figure out exactly where the issue is and then, bam, were going again.

And it wont happen for a couple weeks. The last time it happened was last week and it has been starting great since.

I think I might have to turn it over to someone that knows, but I know if I bring it in they are going to say that it starts fine, there is nothing to do.

Will it record as an error if they run a diagnostic on it? Even if nothing is wrong when I get it to a computer.
