I think it's your starter relay. I had a similar effect to this. It wouldn't start (I drive a 5-speed though.) at first, not even turn over. I'd rock it back in forth in gear (yet again, go 5-speed) and it'd turn over.

That'd be a lot easier fix! My father tends to think the selinoid is going out. We're gonna do some checks this evening and see what's up with it.

One of my friends thought it was a solenoid, too

Good luck.

I tried again and it started right up like nothing was wrong.
