Hello,

It sounds like you could have faulty starter or starter relay.
Another possibility is the ignition switch.

First check the starter relay. The relay is located under hood fuse box (see diagram below).
The relay can be tested.

Next item would be the starter. Make sure that you are getting power to the starter.
