Don't know if electrical, just didn't know what to put in category. My car won't start at times. No rhyme or reason. Sometimes cold, sometimes hot. Doesn't make a difference. Still starts at times and not at others. Sometimes won't start a whole day, then the next morning, starts right up. Sometimes starts all day, then later in the day won't. I usually play with it for a while by waiting seconds then trying to start again. Sometimes starts the second time sometimes the 12 times and so on. I had two mechanic shops look at it, one was a Chevrolet dealership. The other had a mechanic of 20 years that could not figure it out. No can fix. It turns over but doesn't start. No lights indicate problem. No check engline light. They've change a hornest, the ignition switch, starter sensor, some other sensor, a module and non of these worked. After they tried to fix it would work great for about two days, then go right back to not starting. Any suggestions.

Im not sure either but im gonna throw something out there for you to try. Is your fuel pump pumping gas through all the time? Maybe it is geting bad and takes awial to build pressure and then wen it does it starts. I had the same problem with my 85 camaro and the fuel pump was out but it would still turn over. So maybe have that checked. Wat I did was put a gauge on the end of the fuel line going in and then turned the key on. Im not sure wat pressure reading urs should be but since its a newer year it should be 15 psi but I would ask a mechanic and find out first just to be sure. I hope this helps you its no garantee though just a thought.
