Sometimes it wont start, i turn the key and it sounds like there is a spark, which i cant find, and everything goes dim. If i wait for a minute or two and try again it usually starts, if it doesnt i have to wait another minute and then it will start. Also, when this happens i lose all the interior lights and my stereo goes dead. I thought this was a battery issue, but it starts up just fine after i have to wait. does anyone know what is causing this problem? I Finally Found Myself, Thats Why I'm Not Here! Pics of my Car
