I have the vehicle listed above Sport model. The last couple of days I have been having a problem starting it. Seems only way it starts is if I turn the key and let the gas gauge move then it will start.

So when you say it won't start do you mean the engine cranks over but does not run (starter working)? or the engine does not crank over, (starter not working) here are two videos to go over to help with the easy stuff in both cases.
