My 99 Rodeo takes 2-5 turns of the key before it will start. When I turn the key nothing happens, but gauge lights coming on. After several tries, it starts up no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated......

 

If yours is like mine(1999 4x4 3.2L), I think it is the starter. Before I replace my starter, I am replacing the clutch switch (mines manual) just in case.
