I have a problem that comes and goes.

Every once in a while my "key less" remote does not work.

Once I enter the car using the key in the traditional manor, everything work - except the starter will not "turn over" or even make a noise.

I wait a day or two, then everything works again!!!

I heard ignition switches were an issue on early models (mine is a 99) - could this be the issue?

It just so weird that the remote entry does not work either ..... ugh.

One of those things I am sure will not occur once I tow it to the dealer.

Help!!!!!

Let me add more details

It resets (or what ever it is doing) after about 12 hours.

The two problems - no start and no remote working ALWAYS happen at the same time.

And right now, for the first time, In addition to the can not starting the power windows will not roll up.

The car is a manual. I checked all the fuses. I will try and Jump Start it tonight and try and roll start it if jumping does not work.

ANY ISSUES WITH ROLL STARTING (PUSHING IT FAST AND ENGAGING THE GEARS)?
