Oh yeah, the Chanel Islands... You get around by remote! Welcome aboard! The weakest link in the starting system is the solenoid. Do you here it click every time you hit the start button? The most common problem is simply loose or dirty connections from the battery to the starter motor. Try loosening, cleaning, and re torquing all the connections. Then it can be narrowed down some.

You can use a jumper to the activation post on the solenoid to see if your switch is bad or if the solenoid is bad.
