Your missing info....

If the car is a manual and always been manual you should consider the starter signal relay. Maybe remove and have the starter tested, as well as the battery. Could even be the ignition switch.

Removing the starter and battery only takes time, autozone or someone like that will test them for free.

where is the starter relay location at i have look but i cant seem to find it

check the button that your clutch pedal presses in when starting the car. my rubber stopper was loose and causing that type of crap to happen. then finally it completely broke off and that is how I noticed it. also, your battery terminals could be dirty, that has caused me the same problems too. start with the easy stuff.

my battery terminals are good and clean and i should also told you guys that my car is automatic

You don't have a start signal relay. You have an inhibit switch at the shifter thing, ignition switch, starter. Get the starter tested.
