Starter or ignition or..........

Starts right up every time first thing in the morning or after it sits
for awhile.  After that, its 50/50 whether the starter will kick in.  As
if there was no battery at all.  Turn the key..., nothing.  Battery is
fine.  Anyone have any experience with something similar?

TIA, Frank

Most likely its the starter, but of course without checking for power to the
starter when it does it this is just a guess :)

Thanks, thats the way I saw it.  Problem is, its sitting at the
mechanics and naturally, when he let it run for a half hour it wouldn't
do it.  With 120K on it we'll go with the starter and cross our fingers.

Only on my 04 Caddy DTS and my 03 Trailblazer in both cases turned out to
be the starter relay. Both these vehicle you can bump the starter then
release the key and the computer finishes the start. Probably not the same
with your 99 S.

Best guess would be the starter solenoid.

These things were noted for having bad ignition switches, sometimes they
work sometimes they don't.

There seems to be a lot of things that "sometimes work."  With our 89 we
had a problem with the exhaust manifold cracking, 10 years later (my
friends 99) I see the same problem.  As for the ignition, we'll soon
see, its got a new starter. :)
