Question Ignition switch problem?

OK, the last couple weeks have not been good to me. The latest problem I have is the car not wanting to start easily. I've searched the arcives, and I havent been able to find a definate answer so I'll throw it out, and hopefully JW or Warren, or any one else can help.

When I turn on the ignition switch, the fuel pump hums, and all the lights and such turn on. When I turn the key all the way to start, I can hear what sounds like the fuel pumping sending fuel, but there is no turn over for the first 2-5 seconds, then VRoom, she comes to life. Once in a while, it does everything above, but doesn't start. I've checked voltage on the battery and it's 12.5 volts. What I need to know is, this just the electrical part of the ignition switch going bad? Is there a way I can test voltage or anything on it? Or should I look elesewhere? I can handle just replacing the $40 electrical part, but the whole thing would suck!

Please Help!
