Car doesnt start Ok weird situation. Car doesnt want to start. Turns over, all electronics come on, but it just doesnt fire. it is getting fuel, but not fireing. Heres the kicker, it doesnt do this all the time. Its totally random. Sometimes it fires up like a champ, no problems what so ever. Others, it takes between one and several times to get it to turn over. Ideas on how to troubleshoot?

Were you doing anything with the battery recently? If so, make sure your negative battery cable is secured to the battery - I had the same problem when I changed my alternator - the bolt wasn't all the way tight, and all my electonics worked, but it wouldn't turn over. I tightened it, and viola - turned right over.
