I had a similar problem, changed the ignition switch (under warranty) and it still wouldnt start at times. I finally figured it out....it was the clutch switch that wasnt fully engaged because the floor mat slid up too far. When I pushed the clutch peddle in to start the car, the mat cut short the full range of motion needed to activate the switch, and it wouldnt start.
