Last I heard dead batteries didn't come and go and fix themselves when you tap on the dash.

Sorry about the break. I fixed it. I must have picked up my laptop by the enter key or something.

I guess I missed the detail that nothing happens when you turn the key. Power is not getting to the starter.
I am pretty sure it's inside because like I said a tap on the dash got it ...

My girlfriend has a 93 V6
Last winter when it started getting cold it wouldn't start.

That didn't help so my next thought is a starter or main ignition ...

Well thanks.
I was hoping this might be a common problem with MX3s, maybe something that someone else has dealt with and fixed. Like I said I haven't done much since the weather has been bad and I want to replace the O2 sensor before jumping into diagnostics in case that is part of the problem.

Thanks for looking those up. I did a search but I was looking for idle problems related to it being in gear and nothing came up.
