Starting Problems
 
When the car is cold, it starts 90% of the time. When hot, it starts 50% of the time. The battery is new. The starting issue is electrical. When it doesn't start the entire electrical system is dead. No lights, horn, etc. Almost if the battery was removed. After several tries, it starts. The battery cable connectors are clean and tight. Any ideas?

what kind of batt, maybe it is defective.

check it with a voltage meter when the car acts dead

check your chassis grounding wires

...try checking the starter cut relay. this seems to be a problem part for many. i've had problems with mine. your FSM should tell you where it is, and you can try jumpering it out the next time the car doesn't start. if it starts with it jumpered out, then you've found the source of your problems....

It could be a loose connection by the battery terminals. Get your keys, put the key in the ignition, turn to the ON position...even though nothing lights up...you should start checking connections, wires, etc. in that area...by doing this you may or may not find the problem, if you find the problem, you hear the juice running again from the beeps coming from the inside of your car. Im no professional...but this is what I did when I had the same problem.
