Hi,
My car drives fine with no problem, then yesterday after driving around all day, I turned it off and tried turning it on after a few minutes it wouldn't start. All the lights inside would turn on but the engin wouldn't start.
Today it starts fine with out any problems, could it be the battery that is dying?

Thank you for your time and help.

An older battery can be the cause of your issues. Also check for any excessive key off draws (more than 50ma) and for proper alternator output.
