We have replaced the alternator, battery, cam compressor sensor & starter. Every time we do this, the car starts great the first day, then on the 2nd day it cranks for a while before starting. Then on day 4-5, it won't crank at all. But, if we turn the key off and turn it back over again, it starts right up. Tonight, we are trying to replace the negative ground. Any other ideas?

After putting hundreds of dollars of parts into the stupid car, we took it to a dealer who replaced the pressure regulator. This was one of the first parts we replaced (along with the alternator). However, the part was apparently faulty. Moral of the story: only buy the name brand parts if dealing with the pressure regulator (or you will spend a lot of money and frustration trying to fix the problem that had already, in theory, fixed. Luckily, Auto Zone refunded that $ for that faulty part.
