not starting...
I got in the vette this afternoon, after filling the tank (shell 93 octane, it started fine out of the gas station), and turned the key, all the lights went on, and there was a light buzzing, but no engine. I turned the key again and it started, ran fine.
when I left from the location I was at it did the same thing, but about 5 or 6 times, until the engine turned over and started.
then when I got home, I stopped the engine and tried to start again, witht the same result... but it was able to turn over on the second try.
any ideas?

What are you talking about as far as "light buzzing" is this an electrical sound in the dash maybe or is it coming from under the hood. If it's coming from under the hood then it may be a loose connection at the starter or the starter solenoid itself
