Default starting issues

the other day i went to the gas station, and after i finished getting gas, i turned the key, it turned, but stopped partway through. it repeated this several times before it turned all the way over and started. what could be causing this and what could solve this?

its a 1995 ex.

did you run your tank all the way empty? if so, your pump may have just run dry for that short period of time. if youve done this repeatedly, it could be causing undue wear on the pump. next time make sure you fill up before, or as soon as, your fual guage light turns on.

Your ignition switch might be getting flaky?
