88 tempo Randomly not starting

Okay, so i dont know much about cars, but i know enough to know this is weird.

So my car wont start durning the day, but it'll run great in the night. It will start all the time for like a week, but then it'll go back to its vampierism.

Starter works fine, its getting spark, changed the air and fuel filters.

Here is the weird part, i can tell if my car will start before i try. My car has auto seatbelts, and when i turn on the electrical, they go back across you. But the thing is, when the car wont start, they wont go back before i ever try. This makes me think its something electrical.

anyone have any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

Try charging the battery nice and good and go from there. if that doesnt work replace the sparkplug wires.
