The remanufactured ones they get will only last you about a year or two before they start acting up also. Why do you think they give you a "lifetime" warranty on 'those" parts??
Now if your battery & starter turn out okay, then check your ignition switch. It is a five position switch that has copper contacts inside of it. The contacts on the "START" position may have gone bad on you. I had the same problem as you a while back & literally replaced everything on the starting circuit before I realized that the ignition switch had gone bad. Once I replaced the ignition switch, the car started up fine. Haven't had any starting problems ever since.
Hope this helps...

I had my starter tested...and it popped and spun just fine..the guy also said it was reaching proper levels. I will now have to test the battery. Please excuse me for being a newbie...but where is the ignition switch located exactly? and how much does it cost?
