      When you say it wouldn't start, what does it do? Do you have dash lights? Does it click? Does it crank the engine over, but it doesn't fire up?

      so it isn't an electrical fault as to why the car doesn't start? is the starter engaging?

      You need to find out first if it's fuel or spark. Next time it doesn't want to start, spray a small amount of carb cleaner into the intake. Then you move along from there with the next testing, depending on what happens with that.
