how is your ignition setup? good plugs, wires, cap? atleast dbl check your plugs, if they are severely blackened/fouled out then that is a huge issue with starting. my 2 week old ngk's blacked out thanks to my insane vaccum leak that caused my air/fuel mix to go haywire, now it takes my car a couple minutes (it feels like) to start every time i get in it. GETTING NEW ONES TODAY! try that though.

Get a spare ignitor (I GOT ONE ON EBAY FOR $20) AND TRY THE SUBSTITUTION TEST.
