92 Civic Start Problems?!?

Recently my 92 Civic DX hatch has been having some trouble starting. It doesn't happen often just randomly every once in a while. When I try to start the car and I turn the key to "start" the engine seems to start, but when I turn the key back to "on" the engine dies. It does this a couple times then sometimes it just sits there and cranks, but never starts. It sorta reminds me of how my car would act if my car had no gas. Eventually if I just keep trying or let it sit for a second it starts up fine, and once it's started I have no trouble with it at all.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I've thought about taking my car into the shop for a tune-up, see if they could fix it. The only problem is that a tune-up usually costs around $400, so if anyone has any idea how I can fix this on my own that would be great. Thanks guys...

could be a problem with the wiring harness , secondary harness...in steering column
