Problems With The Vehicle Starting.

I ahve a 2003 ford taurus and it suddenly has issues starting.  The battery is fully charged.  Everything works.  When you turn the key to start nothing happens.  It does it periodically.  sometimes it starts other times not.  I am thinking it may be a relay or a neutral safety switch or something along those lines ..  any suggestions?  thanks.

If its not moving at all it could be that the valves are stuck. Open your hood and have someone watch the vavles while you start it. If they do not move then you can simply use wd-40 to make them start moving. But you will need to drain your gas tank and then fill it up again.
