My vehicle has an ignition problem. Sometimes it starts and sometimes I have to turn the the key a few times. I get no ignition noise at all sometimes it fires right up?

Hello,

This sounds like a starter issue. When the engine will not crank over use a test light on the starter trigger wire which will confirm the starter issue. Here is a guide to help you fix the problem:
