I have a 2002 oldsmobile intrigue, it just started have a problem when I go to start the car. Sometimes I get nothing when I turn the ignition key, no crank, but all the lights and gauges come on fine. I try several times and nothing. Then I try an hour later and it starts right up like normal. It will start 6 or 7 times in a row with no problem then nothing when I turn the key. Any ideas?

Nothing surprises me about this vehicle...
 
Judging what you are describing, my first guess is a bad ignition switch. A bad ignition switch can cause very "interesting" problems including intermittent starting and stalling.
 
Are you having any other driving issues? Any "check engine" lights on?

Thanks for the reply!
 
No other issues, no check engine light..... the change oil light came on a week ago, but I know that has nothing to do with it.
 
If it isn't the ignition switch, what else could it be?

It could be a few things: fuel pressure regulator, beginnings of a bad crankshaft sensor, bad connection at the battery, etc.
 
The igniton switch is a very, very common repair on the 1999-2002 3.5L Intrigues. It seems the 2002 fail quicker. Also check the connections at the batteries.
 
I had the same experience as you with my 2000 Intrigue. For months, some mornings it woudl start right away, other times it would take 10 tries. Then I stalled a couple of times while driving and the "security" light came on. Then everytime I started the vehicle, I needed at least 4 tries. This happened over several months so it took a while for me to diagnose the problem.
