Starting problems
 
When i go to start my car to drive it, half the time it wont start or even turn over, didn't know if someone knew what causes it to do that and what i might need to do to fix it.

does it make a loud clicking noise?

Ignition or clutch switch. If, without moving your foot, you can turn the key off and back on again, the contacts in your ignition switch are getting crusty.

This is a VERY COMMON PROBLEM. A simple search of "ignition switch" reveals a lot of posts dealing with this.
Some good stuff out there.

I have the same problem I've searched on the forum and took apart my ignition switch and cleaned the contacts. I've replaced my entire starter with a new one, I even redid my wires for my location to 0 guage going to the battery. It will start perfectly for a while and then it won't start at all and I hear the clicking noise (I have to push start it to get it going) I've noticed when I took apart the ignition switch that when it just clicks I can see a spark inside the ignition switch but when it starts I don't see it. Anymore suggestions would be appreciated.
