So I have no idea what the deal is. Car has been flawless. Yesterday i go to start it for the first time that day and after 3-4 seconds of it cranking it did not start. Then tried again and it started right away. After that it did not happen again yesterday. Today first time i start it up. Same thing. Yet all throughout the day it was fine again. Something about it sitting over night? Any clues?

If it helps It was raining all day the night before and I used my cruise control for the first time on the highway on the way home. Ride was flawless that night though.

turning the key to the on position for a minute & then cranking it.See if that makes a difference.

takes two cranks to start

ive replaced the recomended:
fuel filter, temp sensor, & maf

guess its just quirkiness?

Put the key in the ignition, turn it, wait for the "OK" symbol to show on the display, then start. The fuel pump needs a second or two to pressurize the fuel line.

yeah the ok comes on and then i go to start it. Its a sudden change from how it was.
