Default starting prob! igniter?

What's up guys, just wanted to get some feedback on some starting issues for a 94 Accord EX.

I tried to start my car and all i heard was a click, no cranking or turnover. I still get power to lights/radio. I turned the key and it sounds like it starting to crank then a buzzing sound. Then I can turn the key hear the click then quickly turn the key again and the car starts. Sometimes the car will do this and sometimes it will just start right up first crack.

The problem seems worse when it is really cold in the morning and if I have not started in a couple of days. One WEIRD thing happend once, I started the car and then I shut it of took the key out but the car was still running and still trying to start itself again and again and again simultaneously.

I'm thinking its the igniter from previous experience with an integra. Any insight?

Thanks a lot.

Battery terminals and cable connections, beyond that the click you are hearing is the starter solenoid pulling in the contactor for the starter windings. Worn out starter contacts will cause that too. The contacts are really cheap and easy to change on ND starters, most 'autoelectric' places stock the contacts.
Here's a pic of the ND starter from a Yota
