Engine turnover fail.

[Wongy295]

Hey guys,

I have a small issue with my 07 Lumina.
The other day as I was about to leave work, I turned the key in the ignition.
The motor turned over and as I released the key, it didn't start.
I then turned it off, and turned the motor over again and it started.

This wouldn't worry me too much as it's only happened 3 times in 12 months, it's just that 2 of those times have been in the past week.

Any thoughts?

Wow this is embarrasing.

Turns out when I turn the key, I let go at the point where the engine turns over, rather than ease the key off.
The spring back of the ignition flicks it into the off position.

I has the tards.

Did it keep turning over but not starting, you turn the car back off again and then turn it back on and it works? Mine does this once every now and then.
