Default Car turn on and off

Hi, I own a 92 civic hatch. My car dies from time to time. Does anybody know what the problem may be? Sometimes I put key in and crank it...works.. go to the store, come back home and park the car.. next day, put key in.. crank.. nothing. I changed my battery 4-5 months ago but I never drive the car, it's been park in the garage since then. Weird.

Check/redo the main grounds, [batt. post and cable clamp, batt. to chassis ground and chassis to engine ground] DO NOT just eyeball them, disconnect/clean/reconnect.

Even if the grounds are not your problem, you need to eliminate them as the possible problem, also it can not hurt to redo the grounds on a 20 year old car. 94

I found the problem it was a dead battery I parked the car for too long. Replace battety and works fine now.
