I kept letting this slide 'cause I could ussually start the car after about two to five tries. Finally, the other day when I got out of work, I got into the car, turned the key about a million times and no luck. After a while of twiddling with it I found that the wire going from the ignition coil to the distributor was bad. Replaced it and evrything Seemed fine. Drove home, drove to work the next morning, and drove back home and the car seemed fine. Then I went t othe gym and when I was going home, the car would not start anymore. I tired everything that the manual could tell me, but I could not get it to start. After leaving the car in the parking lot over night and having no luck on the next day, I finally gave in and called a tow truck and took it to a mechanic. The mechaninc found that the starter was bad, replaced it and all seems fine now.
The one thing that the repair manual did not tell me about. When it came to the section of the starter, all it said was "The stater is beyond the comprehension of the home mechanic, we recomend that you take your car to a mechanic or autorized dealer if you suspect the starter to be defective". Oh well.

Thanks for the help buds. Hope this helps some one else.
