The next time this happens, reach down and give the area under the left side of the steering column a couple whacks and see if the car will start. If it does, then the main relay is your culprit. Even if it doesn't start, it could still be the main relay. There is a fix for it that sometimes works, but you may need to replace it if that's the problem. The fix is described here...
