Battery?

Check alternator output voltage, check the engine grounds, and check the battery cable to the starter. Something is dying.

sounds like a battery problem, take it to autozone and get it checked. its free

its not a battery problem, cuz when ever it does start it starts right up. and wiht the key in the ignition, all the electrical stuff works fine

Check the battery cables. I promise you, the electrical stuff in the car runs straight to the battery and has nothing to do with the starter. You could put a brand new battery in there, but if the starter wire is corroded inside where you cant see it, or if the +12 post is broken off inside the starter, it will never do anything. Also, check the signal wire to the starter. If it slips off or is loose, it wont do anything either. It is definently a starter problem, so check the wires, or just take the starter off and take it to Autozone to get tested. Hope this helps.

put a new starter on the car and fired up just fine
