Is this a no-crank or a crank but no-start problem?

This question is kinda vague. When it does not start... does the engine "turn over", or nothing at all happens. If the engine is "turning over" then the starter is working. The starter is what makes the engine "turn over" when starting.

Give us a little more info... and maybe I can help.

my bad for bein so vague(at work and was tryin to hurry lol) it's a "crank but no turn-over" i turn the key, i hear the starter click 2, or 3 times
then i turn the key back, then on again and it starts...if i hold the key for 5+ clicks it'll start but i don't like doin that..

That's a no-crank problem if you only hear the starter solenoid click. Sounds like a starter motor problem.

^^^This makes it sound like you only hear the solenoid clicking without the motor turning.

Anyway, does the starter labor slowly to turn the engine or does the starter crank at full speed?

wow.... okay. Dont listen to this.

Sounds like a starter... or a main power/ground connection issue.

Check all connections to the starter. If all are tight and right, replace the starter.
