Problem starting my car
I've had a strange problem happen three times in the past two days when trying to start my 2002 MN6 Coupe. When I first try to start the car, it doesn't turn over or even crank. No noise whatsoever. However, I take the key out of the ignition, put it back, and it starts just fine. Has anyone had a similar problem?

I had that happen once on my Z06. Turn the key... nothing. I tried several times with no luck. After I'd about given up I tried one more time and it started normally. I think what happened was the resistor in the key was either dirty or misaligned some how and turning the key over made it fit better. I didn't have any problems after that. I'd try cleaning the key first.

There have been several posts here in the past regarding this. Good luck with the fix.
