IT don't like you..
Replace the ignition switch and check all the grounds and conections in the IGN circuit by unplugging them and re plugging them.

Check the fuel pressure, my car just did this and it was the fuel pump. Not getting enough fuel pressure, new fuel pump car runs fine. I changes the igintion module and coil pack, and that didn't help fuel pump, when in doubt check the fuel pump.
Re: Car wont start .......
I had the same problem on my 94.
1) Check the fuel pump pressure with a guage on the test port
2) Check or change the ignition switch. This is quite involved and will require you to pull the steering column out of the car. It still did not help my problem.
3) Change the OPTI.....I did and it cured the problem.
Mine would run fine for about 10 or 15 minutes driving and then stop DEAD. I tried all the easy items, coil, igniter, fuel, etc. and then I did the OPTI. Plenty of good troubleshooting on this site.
