I battled a hard start issue for awhile too, ended up that I had a dead cell in my battery, I replaced my battery which was only 2 months old at the time and fixed the issue, it hasn't happened since then. I would start with your battery personally.

To prove defective battery is easy if you have another known-good-and-hot battery.

there is a thread on this , take the plastic covers off right behind the steering wheel. Should just be 3 phillips screws from underneath and on the left hand side there is a switch that is white and only held on by one phillips screw. If you can move that at all i needs to be tightened and you will probably only be able to get an offset screwdriver on it. Tighten that up and see if the intermittent no start goes away.

There are other causes of this same problem as well. See My thread on the issue. It was not my switch.

Better to find the actual reason for why it's not starting then buying expensive parts you don't need trying to fix it blindly.
