I've checked all the grounds that I know of and they're all solid.

When the car doesnt want to start it just spins, I can tell the ignition isnt firing at all, then it will finally kick in after a few tries.

Problem seems to get worse as the car warms up. I was thinking maybe ignitor chip but I always figured those either worked or didnt.

Fuel/Air are normal.

Also did a compression test yesterday and the all of them are with-in 5psi of each other. 155, 155, 150, 155. (cylinder 3 is the one that melted the piston last time)

Spark plugs look like they are burning completely normal too.
open your ecu and see if any thing is melted.. i had exactly the same symtoms and checked EVERYTHING, one of the resistors was fried. sometimes it would idle and sometimes just crank over. worth a look anyway.
