    I took it to 3 mechanics and could not find the problem. is not the starter, altenator, nor the fuel pump. The only way it starts some time and I mean sometimes is when I jump the car for a couple of seconds or also by opening the doors from the passanger door. Help please what could of be. Also everytime a mechanic looks over the car it always turn on they havent seen the car when it wont turn on. Well heres the video hope somebody could help me out.

    Looks like you have a service engine soon code. Get that checked out. That is so weird. You probably already did, but did you check if your battery is good?

    When did this start, was it after a mod? do any engine / trans work? If did trans work or had to remove trans id first look at the cable. Try this with key to full start pull shifter out of park and in a fluid motion but not fast pull lever to 1st. If it tries to start the cable needs to be adjusted.

    I would also check the fuse able links that go to the starter. I would also check ALL GROUNDS

    Yea toofast I check everything and only work when i shift it slowly to parking but it rarely does now. Thiis also happen to me today. The car wouldnt turn on (same car) but some dude said it is the starter because he hit a piece in the hood by the engine and it started right away. He told me is the starter to yall also think is the starter or could be somthing else like the security alarm that wont let it on??

    i believe the security would prevent it from turning on if there is something wrong...but either the starter isnt getting power either by a fuse or relay or ingition issue like in the steering column but i hope u get it fixed
