First thoughts are poor earth or the ignition relay
its under the dash on the drivers side, a small metal silver box, these are well known for playing up!
sometimes mine used to play up and a wiggle of it would sometime be enough to start it.
they are about £80 for a new one.
also how good its the battery, do you have a mulitmeter, if the current drops below about 9v when cranking then you probably wont get a spark!
as said with out seeing it cant ofer any more help
