Sometimes when I turn the key nothing happens my EK doesn't start, if I try a few times more it starts. It think I need a need starter. Am I right? how much would this cost? how hard is it to fix?

If you turn your key and nothing happens, i think your battery could be on its way out, cause nothings getting power then.

The the car crank? When u turn the key on can u hear the fuel pump working? U should hear like a hizzing sound or a buzzing sound. If u hear that, it means your main relay is working. I believe it is the starter that u need to change. Sometimes u crank it enough times and it will start because the solenoid inside the starter isn't functioning properly. If it doesn't start use a hammer and hammer the starter gently. If that starts then change the starter. U can also do that by checking to see if there is power to the starter. If there is power and it won't start then your starter is no good. U've actually diagnose your own problems. Don't let anyone tell u what is what haha.
