the first thing i would check is if the battery terminals are not all corroded, then if that is the problem check if the battery is still good, then check the alt. see if the is that good or you could take your car to autozone or a shop to let them do a electrical test.

Check your grounds and the cables on your starter. Jiggle um see if they are loose. Tighten if need be.

clean the metal tips? on top of the battery with sandpaper, sometimes that can cause it not to start, if it still doesnt start after than i'd check the starter but its way too soon to get that checked out.....gas pump prolly?

battery, grounds, plugs, and plug wires. Get some regular copper plugs for $8. I know on my car using iridium my car wouldn't start at least once a day, just kept cranking. Switched to copper and it starts up 95% of the time.

Not sure but mine will not start sometimes, for some reason it will not read the key. Just take the key out and put it back in and it starts fine, kind of weird.

Does the car have an imobilizer? It could be a problem with either the chip in the key or the car's imobilizer problem
