Well, in my previous car before Ls400 (Daewoo Matiz:D) I had similar issues and the problem was with minus (black) Battery connection, it was not 100% secure so sometimes when starting the car I turned the key and nothing happened,

I would definitely check the Battery connections first, if the ls430 has similar starter setup than ls400 then starter repair is a nightmare,

cheers

As above additionally check all the body earth connections to both the chassis and engine.

It could also be an immobiliser problem so make sure the keyfob/transponder Battery is also good. if the car doesn't receive the correct security code from the key it won't start.

Thanks for the tip.a new Battery nfor the fob seems to have made a big difference

could be lots of other things.

Park/Neutral sensor , immobiliser coil round the ignition , ignition switch itself , starter contacts , relay/fuses/wiring. I'd rule them out in that order.
