The car would not start on that turn of the key, but the next turn it did like nothing happened. Is this the normal course of events for moosing, or is this something different. BTW, that was the first and only time it has ever done that. Otherwise it has always been a first turn starter. TIA! Ride: 2000 T-red SE Beats: Kenwood 316S, Alpine MRF200, Orion XTR 6.2, Coustic 400SE Mods: CTA, Magnaflow exhaust, SVT Instrument cluster, Knuaberized doors, side markers, F***ed up painted headlights.
