Default Intermittent Starting problem

My 2002 Civic has an intermittent starting problem.
This occurs 1 to 2 times per week under all driving conditions.

When I attempt to start the car it turns over just fine but does not start.I can the turn the key
off then attempt to start the car again and it will usually start after it cranks over 3 to 5 times.

Occasionally, I will have the attemp this 3 or 4 times to get it to start.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what may casuse this intermittent problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Replace the fuel filter (it may be clogged) and check whether the main relay or fuel pump may be faulty.
