A couple of thoughts: Test the alternator charging output and make sure it is operating normally. You didn't mention what happens when you try to restart, does it crank over normally or not at all? If your vehicle is high miles, which would be normal for a 94, you could have a bad starter. I have seen starters with worn bushings crank OK when cold, but when hot, the armature will drag and cause low/no cranking speed and an excessive amperage draw from the battery. Starter draw can be tested. I would suggest going to a parts store, such as Advance where you can have it tested, probably for free. Have them test battery, alternator output and starter amp draw, then buy what you need.

When you say it won't start, do you have any power at all, does the radio play? Does it click or make a noise of any kind? Is it a cold non start or a warmed up non start? There are a lot of factors to consider in a non start. I still have an occasional cold non start, with full power to my lights, radio, etc. Don't want to make myself sound dumb, but for me it was gear shift (controller). Not really the safety neutral switch, but put it in neutral or move the gear lever and my car would start right away. Chances are while waiting to let it start up you have hit the handle a few times and maybe knocked into position to let it start. If this isn't your problem more info is needed.
