Do the lights on your dash come on when its in the position right before start?(like the check engine,oil etc) or are they off? My car has had a poor ground somewhere for the past couple weeks, causing my shit to turn on and off at random
 yet my stereo continues to work the whole time. I think its fixed now though. I doubt you have had any of these problems but who knows. Also, Im pretty sure most auto stores will test your starter/alternator/battery for free. Check it out

I'd go to check the batt,-alt.-starter and see what's up with that.

well the lights and everything come on dimly when i first start the ignition, but when the car finally turns over everything works fine, plus i can drive around all day with no other problems, its just during start up.

it's ur battery..... if u have probs. in the morning and not starting after u drive awhile it's cause ur batt. wont hold the charge overnight. Ur alternator charges while u drive so it pumps up ur batt. and it holds the charge a short time but slowly drains thru the night.
One time my amp for my speakers had a short and was draining my batt. overnight thru the ground wire but problems like that r rare. Hope this helps

ok figure this out, i left my car outside overnight in this nice weather NY is having, and this morning started right up, no hesitation or nothing, so im now thinking maybe i had some water on my ignition parts and it needed to be burned off.
i started the car at least 3 times today, and have had no start up problems like mentioned, im really
