problems starting car!

It seems that my problem is only after the car has been sitting for at least a few hours, such as in the morning or at night. The car will make the sound that all cars do right before they start, but the sound keeps on going. Then after a few seconds it will make a high pitched whine. Then I willtake my key out and try again and it will start fine. Does anybody have any ideas as to what my problem is? (yes, I did a search - but I am new with car problems so I dont know what they are talking about)

when its on the on position do u hear the fuel pump and ur engine getting gas? coil, ignitor could be a problem. did u change ur rotor and cap?

It sounds more like a starter problem this time… Hard to say without a more in-depth description of the sounds and when they occur, but yeah it sounds like the starter’s having problems engaging…
