Try checking your starter wire that runs off your negative battery cable. Follow it all the way may have a bad spot in the wire. Or the cylonoid may be bad. Both of those things would cause your issue.

Well peoples, my problem seems to have been fixed. I was looking at the 2 sensors that are on the front of the engine and unhooked the oil sensor tag first and tried starting the car, low and behold it started like it was suppose to. Changed the oil sensor from the engine i took out and everything seems to be good. keep you posted...
