Default Wont Start and all of a sudden Started????

Came out of work car didnt start. bought battery last year thats not bad. Sit for a min try no start. Called Sis Tried to Jump No start. Radio Windows amps on cluster at 13. Battery good. Car was sitting for thanksgiving holiday.

Went back to work Varoommmm crunk up. WTF

I did a search sounds like all sorts of things could be wrong. 66,000 miles
I did clean the throttle body 2 weeks ago. Havent been upkeeping nothing waiting to pay car off.

I do change the oil of course
Just wondering has this happend to anyone else. Seems that everything I read people replace the starter.
No post of car actually starting back up.

Anti theft acting up. Bad starter. Bad connection on starter relay. Bad starter relay. All of these have stopped my car from cranking w/ a good battery.

Usually no start no crank is either a starter or starter bypass such as security or something like that.

Anti theft issue. Check to see if it threw an anti-theft code, doesn't always set off check engine light.

my car was doing this one time...ended up being the sensor on my clutch pedal that was going bad and wasnt letting it crank. The sensor is like a push button that has to be ingaged in order for the car to crank...for saftey.

i had this problem and along with it a simulated heat soaked starter, i got pissed one damn day and decided the starter was going to be replaced with a high compression mini-starter.....when i split the starter from the motor/tranny, this is what i found:

from what i can conclude the bendix gear didnt retract and i over spun it, here are a couple more of the damage the nose pieces did while bouncing around in there:
