Default Intermittent no crank issue

Hello im am looking for some help with my 2004 Chevy blazer 4.3 4x4. Just the other day i turn the key on and went to crank it up and nothing. All lights and gauges were normal. Not a battery issue, voltage was fine and all lights and electronics were in good working order. I have had a dead battery before and head clicking, but this time i heard no clicking or nothing, it was completely silent. After trying on and off for 10 mins i finally got her to crank turn over and start. It has happen one other time but after i turned the key on and off a few times it cranks over. Could someone please point me in the right direction on what this could be. Thinking possibly ignition switch or neutral safety switch but not sure. Also when this has happened it has been very could outside like 5-10 degrees. Also no codes were thrown.

Did you hear the starter when you turned the key? If not then check it. If you did hear the starter then get a fuel pressure gauge and test that. A quick search on the forum or internet will tell you how to do that. Good luck

I know this is a little late but after my cart sat for over a year the battery totally went bad. I replaced it, but started getting intermittent no-starts. I pulled off the positive cable and wow, the crud was packed in there preventing a good connection. Probably should have replaced it but I got a wire brush and scrubbed. Even though the surface was pitted I gave it a try and so far (three starts) it is working.
