Default 93 Accord Ignition Problem

Every so often my car just wont turn over, i'll turn the key and it wants to but wont do it. I am not pressing on the gas or anything so im not flooding it and all the auxillaries work so its not the battery either. It starts a lot more times than it decides not too, i just was wanting some suggestions so I can take care of this problem before it gets to where it never starts at all. Thanks!

Can you give us some more details about when it doesn't start? Like were you running errands, it was hot weather, or it only happens in the morning? What have you done to try to correct or trouble shoot the problem ? This will help us get started on your problem.

well there is no specific time that it doesn't do it. I'll just go jump in and it wont or sometimes it will. Its been hot out here everyday but it doesn't pick a hot day or a cooler day to not work. It was just driving me crazy cuz i dont see a pattern or anything...
