Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car starts on it's own  any time of the day or night. I have to disconnect the battery each day untill i need my car again. Please help . Could it be a fault with the starter?

Wait a second, let me be sure I have this straight. Do you mean that, say, it starts up and runs without you there? Like you get up in the morning and your car is running? But you start off by saying it won't start without a boost..like a jump start from another car? I would like to help but I am confused here. But it does not sound like a starter problem, if the starter motor engages all by itself by some fault in the electrical system, it may crank but it won't run without the ignition on. Please elaborate?
