My friend got a W

[BCM]

Like the title says. My friend got his dark green 1995 Grand Prix SE Coupe, with 175k miles. Don't have any pics yet, but it seems to be in decent shape for its age/mileage, the front bumper has some fading goin on, and some other typical defects. There is one problem with it, it sometimes takes a few tries to get it to start, sounds like the starter is going out or something wrong with the ignition. Any ideas?

start with the fuel pump relay. that went on my 94 cutty and it always took at least 2 or 3 tries to start it. until i fixed it

I would actually start with the wires if all power goes when you hit the key. Starting with the aux positive terminal. Make sure everything is tight and corrosion free.

what exactly is it doing? We could make a million guesses, but none would prolly be right unless we know whats its doing. By a few times to start, could be a fuel issue, spark issue, starter/solonoid issue etc etc

or is the security light on when it won't start? tell your friend to join us!

due to complete lack of details I am going to guess lose aux terminal nut
