something getting ready to die?

I started up my car today but when i put my key in the ignition and turned it, all the electronics turned on fine but the engine didnt make a sound, had to turn the key a few times to get it started and when it did all the lights dimmed for a second and the car seemed to struggle to stay running for a second. is the starter or alternator starting to quit?

Nope nothing dying but a rely. SomethingElse posted a proposed fix on this. As far as I can tell that seems to be your issue. Search around you'll find it posted here.... (I'll search in a bit and post a link later)
