I have an 07 Honda accord EX 4cyc, that has this random starting issue. When you turn the ignition sometimes it will not start, then you turn the key a second time, sometimes it will start, sometimes you need to try again. This has been going on for YEARS, but has gradually been getting worse. At first it would happen maybe once every 6-9 months, now it seems like once or twice a week. I just took it to a mechanic and they were unable to diagnose what the problem was just said it could be starter, or maybe the ignition, but replacing either would just be a guess. Just curious if anyone else had a similar issue, or any suggestions on what I could try to figure out what might be wrong?

may be it takes time to prime fuel. Check fuel pressure

From what information you have given, I would be inclined to suspect the ignition switch.To verify place a meter,on 20v scale,between the solenoid terminal(from switch) on the starter and a ground.Since it is an intermittent problem it may take several tries before it fails to show 12 volts at the solenoid terminal.If it shows voltage and still doesn't turn the engine over then I would suspect a defective starter.I hope this helps.
