Put the key in turn on all lights come on turn key to start nothing at all. Take key in and out of switch servel times and wait 5 mins to 10 mins then put key in and it starts right up? Only does this once every month maybe 6 months before it does it again bought a new key but no good.

Very common for it to be a faulty ignition switch

next time it happens be prepared and check for power at the S terminal at the starter solenoid
its the small wire as a helper holding ignition in start position for you to start
if no power suspect and check ignition switch if have power suspect flat spot on the starter and a bad starter
good luck " œ
