Answer
   Tara, you need to do some testing or any answer I give is just a guess. First you need to see if you are losing fuel or spark when it will not start. If you have both those, then you have to check for a mechanical malfunction. IE: timing belt broken, bad compression etc. That will help direct your diagnosis.
