I had a similar problem a couple of months ago on my xr.Car wouldn't turn over intermittently but would go fine for a week or so. It was a worn ignition switch in my case. Had another problem few years back with the same car where it wouldnt start when hot. That turned out to be a knackered starter. Hopefully you'll get it sorted!
