I started to have trouble this summer with the same problem. It would crank over several times before it would start and sometimes I'd have to stop and crank it again.

A new set of plugs helped mine. It didn't completely stop it but it does start easier. I only had about 9,000 miles on the original set but they were two years old.

Be sure not to twist that throttle when cranking it either. Screws up the ECM controls.
