When I turn the key to start, it will not crank, click or anything. If I play with the key a while, turning off, then on, then off and back on, eventually it cranks and tuns on like nothing was wrong in the first place. I've replaced the starter/solenoid and still have the problem. What do you think might be the problem?

Thanks,

Check the battery/connections-that's okay. Get a repair manual see below your post and troubleshoot the ignition switch/transmission range switch/starter relay
