Hard time starting engine

When I go to start the engine it turns over but does not fire. I have to turn the key let is crank over then turn off the key about 3 times before it starts. What could be doing this????

Are you getting any security lights? And what was the last mod that you did? With more info we can help!

Long cranking times can be a fuel pump on its way out. Maybe something as simple as a fuel filter. Im sure its fuel related.

I have not done any mods lately. Today it did not want to start in the morning but then in the middle of the day it started fine and this evening it took 5 times to get it started. I am confused!!

My buddy's car is doing the same exact thing. We put plugs in it, they are all gapped right and it wasnt doing that before. I think it might just be a coincedence but we are gonna change the fuel filter first, and go from there. If you figure out the problem let me know and I'll do the same.
