I have been having continuous problems with my elcetrical system. Lately the car won't start on the first turn of the ignition but usually stars the second or third turn. I replaced the battery when autozone told me that was the problem. What is causing this?

Sounds like you have to prime the fuel system a couple of times to get fuel. Check the fuel pressure and coolant temperature sensor.
