Default Got a confusing problem on my hands

Just started happening today.. I went to start my car and nothing.. Like the battery was non existent but after the 2nd time.. the car started.. but ran for 1 second then died.. Did it 2 times then it started and ran on its own. It sat for about 2 hours when i did that. Then about an hour ago.. i went to 7 eleven to get an icee and i went out and it did it again.. First time there was nothing.. no sounds or anything.. then 2nd time it started for 1 second then died.. Then 3rd time it started and ran fine on the way home.

Whats going on?

Mine is doing the same thing. I replaced my clutch switch (neutral safety switch) thinking it might be the problem and it still does it. If I just turn the key and wait about 15 seconds it usually turns over. Anything longer than that I usaully get out of my car before I start breaking ****.

Let me know if you figure it out.
