It could be a bad ignition switch. I have seen it where if you crank the key all the way it will crank fine, but not fire. If you just turn the key barely enough to crank, it starts fine. Try turning the key more carefully and see if that makes a difference. This issue would be worse hot as well...

Okay I'll try to check the distributor cap and rotor. I did some quick searching but don't find a way to check if its working properly except for looking for carbon, cracks and hearing any weird Moises. Is there another way that I couldn't find?

I also checked at turning the key different and that didnt help.
