Starting Problem

[cgeaves]

My 01S is having a sporadic starting problem. From time to time (more frequent recently) I turn the key to start and nothing happens. No buzz, no click.....absolutely nothing! My first thought was I need to replace the ignition switch.....again, but I'm having second thoughts. The battery is fully charged. Interestingly I can get it to crank by just moving the car. Simply put it in neutral, open the door, push with my foot on the ground and move the car 6" - 12". It will then crank. I'm now thinking the starter has a dead spot on it but that doesn't make sense either because simply rolling the car won't rotate the starter motor to a new spot. Or does it? So far rolling the car a foot has worked every time.

Thoughts anyone?
