First I would check and see if you have fuel pressure in the fuel system. Is it setting a check engine light or any other warning lights when it does start? Also check and see if your DIS cap and rotor are full of corrision. This will also cause a no start. But when it is not starting try to spray some carb cleaner or starting fliud in the air intake and see if it starts. If it does then you know it is in the fuel system.
