car wont start regularly
Need your help plz.
yesterday morning i went to start my car, it try to fire up 3 times and it shut off. The 4th time it fired up and ran like normal ( i didn't think nothing of it at that moment). i shut it off and on 2 more times and it work fine. wen i get to my destination i shut it off went inside for like an hr or 2 came back and no start. I unlock the hop in and put my key and it doesnt make that sound when it unlock the steering wheel when i turn the key no lights come on but radio works.
Heres the best part the only way to unlock the steering wheel and get it to start is by hold the unlock button down and doing the normal start process.
i come to the conclusion that i would either have to change the key or the ignition module or both. Has anyone have this problem. PLZ help

ESL = Electronic steering lock. Dealers usually replace both ESL & EIS at your expense. Only replace what is necessary.
Common causes of no start with crank are.
No Spark = coils, plugs etc.
Spark at the wrong time = CPS
No fuel pressure = Bad pump or clogged filter
EIS or ESL
