Why do you have trouble starting the car though d battery and alternator are ok and there are no sounds to be heard upon turning the key however it works based on luck?

Your question is confusing, "...based on luck?"
I suspect that you mean that the problem is intermittent [sometimes it works when you turn the key to the start position, and sometimes it doesn't.
IF that's the case I suspect one, or a combination, of the following:
- A "loose" connection somewhere in the starter/solenoid circuit,
- A defective starter solenoid,
- A defective starter,
- A defective starter/ignition switch.
NO ONE can tell you precisely what the cause is without "troubleshooting" the entire starting system, but the above causes can result in the symptoms you describe.
You need to have someone who knows what they are doing to troubleshoot your starting system, find and identify the cause(s), and make proper repairs.

What will bad alternator do to a cars battery and lights?
A bad alternator will have the effect of draining the battery, resulting in dim lights, trouble starting the car and the like. It would be best to replace the alternator as soon as possible and possibly obtain a new battery. This may vary depending on how much the bad alternator has drained it. You can get your alternator and battery checked any time at Auto Zone.

Could be the alternator is going bad and check the charge level of the battery. Check all the fluids of the vehicle.

Why does Hyundai not start crankshaft sensor?
This question is asked poorly. Are you having trouble starting your Hyundai, or having trouble with your crankshaft sensor? Asking your question correctly will get you the correct answer. If your car isn't starting, I would suggest looking over the cranking system. (Battery, alternator, starter etc)... To find out if your crankshaft sensor is a problem, you could use a computer diagnostic tool.

Why would Ford E 150 battery die when the alternator is charging 14volts and battery tests good?
Check your battery cables. I have replaced my negative cable twice now. It runs about 6 feet down underneath to the side of the block and it's a pain to get it tight because it's hard to reach the bolt. Until you get it good and tight, you may still experience trouble starting the van which acts just like a dead battery.
