Sometimes the fuel pressure will drain down overnight and not build up quickly enough when you turn the key. Next time that happens, turn the key off completely. Let it sit for about 10 seconds, turn the key to ON for a couple seconds, THEN try to start it. In general, most people don't consider it enough of a problem to find and replace the affected parts. BTW, it would probably be either the fuel pump or the pressure regulator. First question to you is, does it do it when it is real cold/ warm outside? Does it try to turn over or does it just click? If it is just clicking then you prob have a bad cell in your starter. You can have your starter check I think at most auto stores. I had a van that did this, and changed the starter now it is just fine. Hope this helps.

Why were people poor in Tudor times?
... Why were people poor in the 1500's? In the 1500s the majority of the population was poor; they struggled to feed their family. One of the most serious problems that the government faced was how to deal with the poor. In the 1500s the population had grown very rapidly and so this had increased the demand for food. This meant that food prices became higher, but because there was plenty of people available to work their wages remained very low. The problem was made worse because many land owners had changed their usage of land from crops to sheep. In the 1500s there was about 8 million sheep to only 2.7 million people. This meant that less land was being used for crops at a time when the population was increasing.
Why do rotary aircraft engines use castor oil?
In the early days of gasoline engines, early Lubricants were of high viscosity, very waxy and had very poor low temperature characteristics. Castor oil was discovered to be a good lubricant. It was first used in race car engines and then many aircraft engines; NOT just rotary engines. Rotary aircraft engines relied on oil to be splashed around the cranks chamber and removed via the exhausts. No sumps were acomodated in this design. Due to the torturous nature of the rotary engine's induction system, plus the need for the oil NOT to mix with the fuel, castor based oils were the only products used in this design type. (Rotary engines were unique to WW1 aircraft. These engines were mounted on a fixed crankshaft and had odd-number of cylinders mounted around the shaft. The propellor was bolted to the engine. When the cylinders fired, it rotated the engine & propellor around the crankshaft and spun the engine. Later, Radial engines were made that had the engine bolted to the airframe and the pistons spun the propellor---the common engine used from 1920's thru WW2.) The design of the Rotary Engine resulted in the castor oil being expelled in copious quantities through the valve system on top of the engine. The pilots would often ingest much of this, leading to a quick trip to the toilets upon landing as it caused indigestion. Since castor oil was needed for lubricating airplane engines, 100,000 acres of land in the southern United States had to be planted in castor beans. Castor Oil used by the radial engine was supplanted by Voltol, an oil derived from coal. The Germans tried to use Voltol since the Allies had am embargo to stop shipments of castor oil.
