May 2015 CrashInjury

My car sometimes starts, sometimes doesn't start. Sometimes it starts right away on the first try. Sometimes it takes multiple tries after a few seconds to a few minutes. The times when it doesn't start, I turn the key in the ignition and hear one single tiny click. The dash board lights come on, radio plays, air cond. Works, wipers work headlights work. Eventually, after a few retries, the engine will start. Sometimes it starts after waiting a few minutes. When I do get the car started, it runs perfectly smooth.
