This issue has been happening for about 4 months, no notable changes done to the car in the period of time of which this has been occurring, and I thought it was an alternator going bad until I saw that it was drawing 14V; spark plugs have yet to be changed, but I am not misfiring or noticing a loss of power. I changed the battery early last week and this didn't solve my problem either. Not sure exactly what's happening but once the car actually decides to start, it's as though the issue never happened and it cranks/starts like normal...
Someone help lol

When you say the "car chooses not to start", do you mean the starter isn't crankking the engine or do you mean that the engine cranks but doesn't start running.
