I'm having problems with my car starting. Sometimes it will just click and nothing, not start and sometimes it's at as if the battery is weak and after three or four time it will turn over. You can jump it off. However when I had the battery and alternator checked they were both fine. Anyone else run across this issue or anyone with any recomendations?

Please send help!

Either replace the solenoid contacts in your starter or replace it with a reman unit. That should solve your problem.

It was the starter. I also had a change engine light on before it was replaced. After we replaced the starter, the check engine light went away. I had error about 3 error codes (This is the one I remember):
P0443: Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control
