Yep. I am starting to thing it was the Alt. Fuse being a little lose. It was the only thing that seemed to move or make any difference. I'll try screwing it in tighter later.

So you can swing that intake by then? :D
I could look at it quick as well, maybe I'll see something you missed.

Same sorta thing happend to me. I went to my ladies house and it worked fine. 3 hours later when I left my autostart and keyless entry didnt work. I had to basically break into my car just to find out it wouldn't start. Finally it just worked and I drove my car away with the lights flashing and the car alarm screaming haha. A mile later everything was peachy keen. Moral of the story...bad alternator

Alternator shouldnt affect a car that isnt started as it doesnt do anything, unless its not completing a circuit, or the alternator died which drained the battery, but that is not what it looks like in this case.

I didn't think it was the alternator in my case either. But i took my car to get an electrical check and thats what they said. If i were you I'd just got get an electrical check done. Like 25 bucks at firestone and theyll tell ya whats wrong.

Did it make any noise at all when you were trying to start it? Is your fuel pump rewired? My friends car had a problem where it would randomly not start and sometimes it would. We figured out it wasn't getting fuel and it had something to do with the rewired fuel pump. It happened once in a great while but we rewired it for him and it worked fine ever since. I am prette sure the ecu could cause it also. I think the problem with my auto is the computer and sometimes it starts and other times it doesn't.

Well it seems to be fine now. And no there were no noises. Thats the first thing I did was listen for noises. But its been starting up and running just fine.

I've had that problem tauni. If it comes back again, swap out ur starter. They are cheap / ez ( i got one u could have if you need). Mine started like that. Not doing shit every once in awhile. Then it turned into every other time, then it was all the time and after like 10 tries, it would start. Removal of battery / stand, 2 bolts, 1 or 2 connections = Starter is out :P
