Ive searched and found nothing...So it started this past wed I got home from work my car sat for a good 2 hours. I get ready to go to the gym, I get in my car and the car did not want to turn over? Everything worked in the car so its not the battery. I checked all the fuses they are good. Went underneath the car unplugged the starter and plugged it back in and tried nothing. Tried hitting the starter with a hammer, shaking the car, all nothing...terminal wires were on tight, plugs are good, fuel pump turned on...could it be the ignition switch someone told me? or just get a new starter? everything was quiet when I would turn the key no ticking nothing but everything has power...but the thing is the next morning the car started right back up...Then I went out for lunch during my break at work it happened again. I was on my way back to work got in the car and it didn't crank WTF. I had to push start the car...all help much appreciated thanks!

It souds like u have a ignition problem. Take that ignition a part clean it and try to turn it with out install it back.
OR
there's tow bolts behind the ignition switch lose them turn it back word and hold it then try to star it again.
