THis is SOOO COmmon in the KA's, I would first Try charging your battery all night with a charger. Check your battery terminals, Are they old and corroded?? How old is your battery? and What are the COld cranking amps on your current batter??
My car does this all the time. I run a battery with the minum cold cranking amperage rating for my type of car. Ive noticed upgrading to something with 550 to 600 is sooo much better than a 450. My friends have better batterys than me. I give my battery a good charge every once in a while. and that issue will go away for about a week. My battery is only 2 years old. but ive gone through everything else, Starter, Cables, BAttery clamps. and ive come up with the conclusion that im running to old, To cheap, and to minumum of a Cold Crank Rating type of battery.

That's what happened to mine and it turned out to be the starter.

Have you ever replaced your starter? If you haven't or even if you have but like 2+ years ago I'd try a new starter.

alright ill try that too, lol i had a old rolla were i had to SMACK the starter to get the shit to work. lol , and yea the starter i replaced about 6 months ago or so, when i re did my transmission.
