About a month ago i went to start my car after i had been driving for a while and it would not start, i turned the key and nothing, no spark, it was completely dead. i let it sit for about 20 minutes and started right up. I've been driving it ever since and have not had this problem again until the other day when i went to start it and the same thing happened. I let it sit for 20 minutes and again it started back up. Don't think it's the battery because while car is dead lights and radio still work.

Change your battery cable if they are nasty. Maybe try installing a new starter solenoid (the one on the fender apron) or make sure the existing one is tightly secured to the car. Are you getting a "clicking" when this happens?

Go ahead and try tightening the bolts which secure the solenoid to the fender apron. I think they actually need a ground (read that here), which they get from their attachment points. Next time the car does this, take a screwdriver and (using the handle) try rapping on the various starting system components, and then trying to start the car. If this works, it will point out where a bad connection is.
