I have an 1997 Saturn SLI 4 door. It has over 100k miles on it. The car runs fine but from time to time will not start. You put the key into the ignition and nothing happens. Lights, radio and all accessories work, but the car wont crank. You turn the key and you only hear a clicking noise from on of the soleniod fuses. The starter does not engage. Once you let the car sit for a few hours, it fires right up.
Any suggestions???
Thanks.

Does this condition happen when the engine is hot or cold?

Reply to mbhcky's Post: Both- once the car sits overnight it will start right up. Yesterday the car sat overnight and wouldnt start. I tried for over an hour to get it to start, it wouldnt. I waited about 20 minutes then it fired right up.
