i'v was having the same problem. every morning i'd crank and crank and nothing. turns out it was my starter. take it to autozone or something. i hear they will check all your electrical stuff for free.

You may also want to check your main relay.. I had this problem in my si hatch. It costs $50-60 to replace.

well it might be that your ground wires are a little bit worn down. check to see if they need to be replaced.

It's either the battery or the alternator that's draining the battery.

I'm almost 99% sure that it's your starter. If you've got 15-30 minutes, you could yank it out & test it at Autozone as mentioned above. 2 bolts, 2 wires and out it goes.

Is your fuel pump priming? Do you hear it when you turn your key in the "ON" position? One way to listen is to look for the CEL to come on and off. Let us know

are you pushing the clutch down all the way? my car started doing that, id have to push it ALL the way to the floor before it will start now...

as far as in the mornings, is your ECU chipped? could be that the fuel left over in the cyl needs to clear out before it'll start
