It's a 2001 Ford Taurus (nice, I know). It started having trouble starting-I would have to turn the key a couple of times before it would finally start. The longer I would drive the car, the harder it would be to start up afterwards. A couple of weeks ago, after I had been driving for about 45 minutes, I turned it off to go into my parent's house, and after letting it sit for about 10 minutes, it would not start at all. The battery turned on, but nothing else.

After sitting for a couple of days, it suddenly started right up and started driving. It started a couple of days after that (it had been sitting the whole time), but now doesn't start at all.

Any idea? Sorry I really know nothing about cars.
 
sounds like your starter is overheating.you can buy covers for them to reduce engine heat.
