is it just a long hard start? do you have to dig the keys in, give us some more help, and search (free search) this most likely has been covered

Get the Fuel pressure tested....It should be about 42 PSI with Key on Engine Off. Make sure your fuel pump fuse is not blown also when you turn the key on see if you can hear your fuel pump whine.

Is your CEL on? It might be crankshaft position sensor (CPS). Symptoms of that is hesitant starting. If you give it a little gas does it start up fine?

Lights turn on and stuff?

Check the ground from the negative terminal of your battery and make sure it is nice and snug against the ground point.

The Car will start after after about 4 tries. When I turn the key and hit the clutch' you can here the fuel pump and the starter, and you can feel the car try to turn. Once its on its fine. It triggered the Cam Shaft sensor and it was replaced. My mechanic is stumped. So are the other three.

That Worked!

I also changed a coil for the second spark plug and worked just fine.
