Default Doesn't want to turnover? Help?

Okay I just recently started having a problem with my car (01 ws6) not wanting to turnover until I turned the key at least a couple times. I figured I had a bad battery which I took to O Reillys and had it checked and sure enough yes. I then bought a new battery and put it in. However it still usually does not want to turn over on the first turn of the key. Am I having ignition problems?

your starter probably has a dead spot. i would replace it.

Alright Ill get it checked out tomorrow to make sure. Figures, after I get a new battery I thought it might be something with the starter. Thanks for the help

plenty of posts on here about this. Many many things to try. I'll give you another though, the starter relay. Try switching it with one of the fan relays.

Could be several things:

Ignition relay
Fuel pressure problem
Cam position sensor.

The older these cars get the more problems they have
