Sounds like a bad starter solenoid, usually cheapest and easiest to replace the starter and solenoid as a unit. It is always best to check for power between the solenoid and the starter with a test light, if the solenoid clicks but the test light doesn't light up you have found the problem in the solenoid.

Why wont my car start in the mornings?

Sounds like you are loosing fuel pressure overnight. Could be a fuel pump problem, or a leaking injector.

2004 grand am se v6 sometimes wont start unless gas pedal is pushed

when you say -turn over do you mean firing-turning over to me means the starter motor is cranking or turning over-firing is when combustion happens in the cylinders-as far as the cranking continuing-try some wd40 in the ignition switch-it may be hanging up-Denny

ive had the same problem with my 02 dispatch 2.0hdi. would start ok on cold but after a run and getting the engine hot it would take a few tries to start. then one day it just wouldn't start at all. turned out to be leaking injectors. replaced the copper washers and plastic sleeves, put it all back together and it was all sorted.

When i turn the car off sometimes the switch sticks and i wiil have to start and shut off engine several times to get keys out

Sounds like its time to have the ignition checked and maybe replaced,if it get to a point where you cant turn it then the repair will cost more if the key wont turn this make removing the lock harder. also a worn key will also cause this, tell you what try to spary a little wd40 into the key hole and then start and shut car off a few times then spray again and start abd shut off a few more time to see if this will help. good luck and hope this is helpful

2003 grand am gt wont turn over. The lights and fan come on but it dont turn over or make a sound

Check the park/neutral safety switch. Sometimes, if mis adjusted or bad, you can move the shifter while turning the key. Other wise, the starter solenoid is bad.

Ran out of fuel and i added a half of a tank and it wont start

Turn your key on and off several times, don't turn the engine over, just turn the key until the guages are activated. While doing this, listen for a buzzing sound coming from the rear. You should hear it for about 2 seconds upon each turn of the key. If you hear nothing than you'll need to get your fuel system(pump, relay and fuses) checked.

Won't start sometimes

Hmm, sounds like starter. Next time it will not start, don't hold the key for almost a minute. Try turning the key several times if no luck, grabb a hammer and LIGHTLY tap on starter. If it turns over normally then, starter is going out.
