Default 2004 Accent, won't start - STUMPED (help!)

Hey there ~ My baby won't start... sometimes. This link is to a facebook post of the video... I took the video with my phone and it is too large to send by email and youtube isnt working either... the car sound should help some of you? (not spam, I swear!!!!)

Had it towed to the dealer after not starting. It started right up for them 115 times . They replaced the battery because they started it so much.

Went to pick it up, had them start it for me and it finally hesitated for them (though it did start on the second try). Still hasn't done what it does to me for them. I started my car 6 times since leaving, 4 times it wouldn't start on the first or second try- one of those times I had to leave it over night. The other two times it fired right up.

No - its not:
The fuel pump - pressure checked
The battery - replaced
Spark plugs - replaced them at the dealer this month
The starter - replaced


So far, friends have suggested:
fuel filter
oil filter
ignition module
oil pressure
"alternator connected to motoratored thingy" lol

Anyone had a similar issue or have ANY SUGGESTIONS?!

If you look logically at the list of things you've changed and those that have been suggested, there are very few that would give you a problem such as you're describing. Since you've replaced the starter & checked the fuel pressure, I would first check for any stored diagnostic codes that could help you diagnosing this problem. Without further info, my thoughts would take me towards investigating some of the sensors.

Stored diagnostic codes are no help... Had the tps replaced recently.
What other sensors do you have in mind?
