on these cars ,when you firste turn the key the fuel pump runs for like a second or two to bring up pressure for start up .....sounds like yours isn't ........if you have a fuel pressure gauge then check it to see if you get any pressure when you turn to key on (without cranking the engine)

if the pump doesn't come on or if it does'nt come up to pressure then it would have the above symptoms .......try that test and we'll go from there

other then that ,it might be getting a false reading from one of the temp sencers,or the bap sencor ......all three would make it harder to start but it should still start
