The car drives nice but every once in awhile after you park it, it will not start back up! Sometimes it will start a day later or 3 days later or weeks later as if nothing was even wrong! I've had it in the shop twice because I was stranded the mechanics thought they fixed it but the same thing is happening any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi,

There are many things that can cause a crank no start condition. What was done by the mechanic that didn't work? I don't want to suggest checking the same things.

Now, when it doesn't start, does the starter still engage but the engine not start or does nothing happen when you turn the key? Is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running?

Let me know as much as you can think of that can help me diagnose what is happening. Here is a link you may find of interest until you get back to me:
