i have this same problem! it sucks! i have noticed with mine, when i push start it, it'll give ma some more chances to start it with the key. eventually, the problem returns.

can you push start yours? what happens if you push start it then turn off the car?
and please if you figure the problem out, or even have to take it to a shop to resolve it, please post back, i will like to know, maybe we have the same problem.

hmmm...well, i guess i gotr a bit excited and jumped the gun. i thought there was someone else out there with my same problem.

your starter can be going bad, and if you hear like a humming noise coming from the fuel pump (under rear seat), then the main relay is good.

the main relay has to do with the fuel mainly.

the car turns over fine, so its not the starter. but if i let the car sit for a while then its starts right up and after 2min or so shuts off like it ran out of gas
