Sometimes it takes more than one or two turns of the key for it to engage, but the starter is not dragging

Sounds like possible ignition switch issue or a bad connection somewhere in circuit? Also possible starter is going out?

Here's a diagram of circuits. You have a relay in the PDC that may be failing.
