Default Intermittent turn-key/ignition issue...

Lately every now and then when I go to start the car (quick flick of the key to the start position) nothing will happen. I end up having to keep trying or hold the key in the start position (like the older cars without the one turn feature that we now have). The car will always start and quickly, but I have some kind of a problem here. Anyone experience this? I don't have advanced key BTW. Thanks.

Default My 4.2 went that way as the weather got colder

fixed itself as it warmed up again, almost as if the solenoid had a harder time engaging as the air temp got colder. Never failed to start though, even at -30 degrees.
