Ok lately my car has developed this rather odd starting problem. I turn the key and it acts like it's dead. But if you hold the key every slow turn of the engine(very slow, like one turn then a pause then another turn.)get lightly more power then all of a sudden it starts. Most times if the battery is bad or there is a weak connection it will get worse as you hold the key in the start posistion, not better. What gives. It is kinda cool because people will say it's not gonna start and as they say that it does, like the car can hear them and doesn't like what they are saying.

 

Sounds like you have some resistance at one or more of your cable connections. The battery is powering through it for now, but soon its not gonna start.

Check the battery terminals and cables first, but it could be the starter solenoid.
