Does it click like hell when you hold the key in the start position?

Or maybe security? Try locking and unlocking the car? If not then most likely the starter..

Starter then. Take it out and get it tested at autozone just to be sure.

hey what up man, i had a similar weird episode too. it was after work and i turned on my car but it was idleling at 500rpms so it had a really rough idle. i would rev a little and it would go down and settle at 500rpm. so what i just did is turned it off and waited for a few minutes. Then after the few minutes i turned it on and started fine. Well still kind of rough but it progressively got back to its normal idle. i was like this......
