Default Help Diagnosing Problem

I went out to start my car this morning to leave for work.....turn the key, nothing....I after turning the key about 5-6 times it started for about half a second and died.....it finally started after that.....I stop on my way to work turn it off, when I start it back it starts for about half a second...died.....then I tried again and it started right up....

work for 12 hours.....get in the car, fires right up....got it home...turned it off...and just checked to make sure and again it started right up.....the only thing I noticed odd when driving home was the fact that when I would stop at a redlight it Idled a little higher than usual for about a second or 2 before finding normal idle again

I'm not sure if I'm throwing any codes because I have my Rear O2's deleted and no AIR so my CEL is always on.....so does anyone have any idea whats causing it? It's an 02 and the only mods are LT's and a Lid

Could be a couple things going on at the same time. Nothing happening when turning the key on could be an ignition problem, or maybe even VATS. First thing I'd do is get the codes read.

I was thinking maybe a starter solenoid or something......do you think VATS would randomly start operating again??
