Mine just started doing that a few weeks ago. Once I couldn't get it to kick over, but luckily I was on a hill and was able to roll start it. Otherwise it just thinks for a split second and then decides to go. Must be something our vans have come up with while talking amongst themselves. I have not gotten around to looking at any possible causes - why I procrastinate when it's warm out I can't understand, but I'm sure I'll curse myself when it's 20 below and it won't turn over.....
