Default Problems with Starting...

Hello,
I have an 89 honda civic, Some times it will not start. I thought it was the fuel pump/filter because it doesnt always kick on when the key is turned to the on position, but I replaced the fuel pump and it still does it sometimes. Is there anything computer or electrical wise that anyone knows of that it could be?... anything that maybe tells the fuel pump to kick on?... The ground and the positive seemed to be fine to me. Has anyone else had this issue before?
THANK YOU
