so i went out and bought this 93 nissan 240sx convertible with black on black and grey interior..eww i know....but 600 bucks and had a new rack and pinion put in for 425. anyways..changed the cap, rotor, oil , oilfilter, kn air, wires ,plugs, flushed the coolant and the car runs great. anyways..i was driving down the road, and the battery died, so i pushed it to the side of the road.. i dropped my fully charged optima battery in the car. but it didnt work, the car just turned over and over but woundnt catch im getting spark at all cylinders too. 1 out of 10 times it will catch for a second then die...after about 20 min of trying to start it, it just started up...and ran great. the car then runs great for 2 days. today i tried to start it and it wouldnt start it was doing the same thing, turning over but not catching. luckily im a manager at parts store and i was at work. so i tried a new coil pack and a new tempeture sensor only because those were the parts we had in stock, both to no avail. i was about to call a tow truck, so i left it alone, came back 3 hours later, tried to start it and it cranked right up, and now im home...my friend says its the ignition switch.im really lost..any help guys...

ill post pics asap....im on a friends pc, my laptops in for repair. if i hold the key in the cranking position the car

How worn out is your key. When I bought mine my key was so worn it acted like it didn't want to seat in the ignition right sometimes. I went and got some new keys cut and it works now every time. I would start with the simple things first.
