Did a search guys and didn't find much that seemed like my problem.

I turn my key to accessory and prime the fuel pumps then go to start and turn the key all the way over, but nothing happens. No click and no crank. It sometimes starts perfectly fine the second and sometimes the third try.

It doesn't start slow or excessively crank.

What could it be?
Thanks

Does it make any difference if you cycle the clutch pedal up n down a time or two? If not, I'd clean all battery / ground and starter connections + check battery condition.......from there it's most likely the starter motor.

Hope its not the starter.
It seems to only happen when the engine is hot and or really hot outside

Still need to check connections first but I suspect it is indeed the starter.

You also may want to try your spare key. Sometimes the chips are moody. I had starting issues with mine and I switched to my spare key, problem solved. Worth a shot at least.

check your battery cables, not just at bat posts,but inspect then the whole length and clean the ground connection on other end. if its only when hot, seems like it could be the starter. have it checked at most auto parts places for free.
