Hi Jaime:

The most likely cause for this is the ignition lock housing. ther is a sensor in there that goes bad about 90% of the time. the other thing to look at is if this has an alarm or remote start hooled u pto the car look to see if it has a bad connection where it was hooked up to the car I have seen that happen a bunch of times as well. Good luck :)
