Sometimes it starts. And sometimes I turn the key and nothing happens.

Hello,

This could be due to a faulty ignition switch.
The internal components on the switch can get loose or have burnt pins. Which can create an intermittent starting problem.
Usually this will slowly get worse, and the vehicle will fail to start.

In order to replace the switch, the steering wheel does need to come out first.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
