you'll have to jack it up check for loose wire connections on the startet,if tight tell someone to cranck it you take and tap on starter motor with a small ball ping hammer.

My 2002 Durango has a hesitant start sometimes. Dealership says it is the ignition switch. So will have it replaced this week when the part comes in. I sure hope that fixes the problem. A lot of different scenarios here. I love my Durango and have put 250,000 miles on it myself. Do not want to worry about trying multiple things.
