Not much meat on this bone.

Year/model/engine/mileage

Turns over with no start, doesn't turn over at all....does it when engine is warmed up, cold, what?

Re: my 93 accord doesnt start all the time

Ever have any problems with accessories like radio or gauges not working right when it's running?

In the meantime, try wiggling the key forward and back just slightly while it's running...not enough to hit the start or acc positions, but just rock it gently within the run position...tell me if it breaks up or dies, or if anything else in the car quits working while you do this.

Check your spark plugs. My '94 Civic did something similar for a while, until I saw that my plugs were toast. Replaced them, and it worked fine after that. If you do get the car to start, you could check the spark plug wires. Let the car idle, get a spray bottle with water in it, and lightly mist the wires. If you hear an idle change, replace them.

I have found that same problem with spark plugs. Hondas dont seem to want to run on anything but ngk plugs, and they go from good to bad overnight, runs great for years then suddenly bad plugs.
