Sporadic starts

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

  I would check all of your connections at the coil, perhaps some are 
loose/dirty?  Also, I recommend checking the grounds of the ignition system, 
there is occassionally one in the rain tray, and/or one on the engine at the 
water outlet...  Make sure all these connections are tight and clean, and see 
if that makes any difference...

  Although, electircal parts are known to either work or not work with 
relation to temperature, in my experience it is rare for the coil to not work, 
and then work...   Other than that, the ignition switch can occassionally 
cause this problem.  The switching mechanism gets worn, and will indeed switch 
for the starter, but it will not switch the ignition on...  When trying to 
start the car and it is slow to start, jiggle the key/or move the key so that 
it puts strain on the switch at a different angle...

HTH, let me know...
