Sounds like a bleed back problem.

Try to turn the key on, but not cranking and tehn back off. Wait a few seconds and repeat this a few times.

This will charge the fuel line by the electric fuel pump.
If it then start right up on the first crank after doing this, you know it is fuel related.

Most of the time this is a fuel pump that is faulty, but may also be a problem in the fuel injector spyder.
