Sounds like a bad starter or relay. Check the relay first, if not that then it is your starter.

tap on your started with a rubber mallet or something to that effect then try it. If it starts it probably your starter. You can tap them and it will work but you will probably have to do it every time you want to start it so you will want to replace the starter.

Is the starter ingauging? What I mean, is the engine turning over, but no start? If the engine rotates, and you hear the starter engauging, then it's not the starter, but if all you're getting is a quick click, or a short series of clicks, then the starter is the culpriate.
