Car Won't start...WTF battery is good
Well I have an 09 TC with just over 11000 miles on it. I bought it with 9900 and have owned it a few weeks now. I went to go start my car and everything just died. I checked my battery and it was fine. Still like new. It finally started so I went to Kragen knowing the dealership would be closed. I drove their fine and she drove great. Got to Kragen to have the battery tested again. Once again fine. The guys checked some more engine stuff and said she was fine. After I turned my TC off and tried to start her again. It just sounded like a clunk sound. The guy said it sounded like the started was going bad. Took me 30 min to get my car to start. Going to the dealership tomorrow. Thank God for the 7 year 100,000 mile warranty. Anyone got any ideas on what could be going on?

Sounds like it could possibly be the starter. Its not a lot of things that prevent the car from starting and running....there's a lot that keep it from running well but simply starting not many.
Starter
Battery
Alternator
then to go further in depth
Fuel Pump
Injectors
Take it to the dealer and they'll hook you up. Hopefully they can replicate the problem and if its sporadic like you've stated I would venture to say starter.

Same problem. I have 2005 RS1 w/INJEN CAI. I replaced the MAF sensor 2 years ago, no problem since. This week car will not start for more than 30 minutes. Drove it to the dealer, and it started every time they tried. Looked stupid. Now it's doing it again. I will check for loose connections.
