Default Do you turn the key all the way on and wait 3 sec before cranking??

This will let your fuel pump build pressure first before cranking.

Default The battery could be going?

You never know how long a battery is sitting around before it is put into the car. I've had them go in as little as 1 yr.

Default if you have a few miles on it, it can be the

plugs. It can be fuel (lack of), spark and/or you've got a totally clogged air filter. If it was a filter it would happen all the time so thats ruled out

Default MIne seems to do the same thing, but it is almost every start.

I'm going to try waiting a couple seconds after I turn the ignition on before I crank it.
