how long do you let it crank after turning the key each time? What kinda sound is it making? Is it catching at all or just spinning the rotors around? Is this always, or just after it's been sitting a while?
I had this problem starting hot after ghetto rigging my water temperature sensor with some tin foil because the contacts weren't connecting between the plug and sensor. Basically the ECU thought the engine was cold and so was using the cold start air/fuel mixture. If this is your exact problem unplug the sensor, it's on the back of the water pump housing. Your ECU will switch to hot start fuel mixture which just gives a shitty cold idle.

When you turn the car off- in neutral, rev it to about 3k rpm, then turn the key off, the engine will slow down on its own till its fully off- the next time you start it up, it will be fine.. This will most likly help, but if not, give more information. Note that this should help out if the car starts normally, but then shuts off after a few seconds.

Pop the hood, and find the little fuse box on the driver side strut tower. There will be one called EGI. Pull it, crank the car for a few seconds then put it back in. Now just start it normally

like one guy said, before you turn your car off the next time, rev to 3k and turn it off, it burns all the gas out of the chambers so you dont get lightly flooded the next time your start it, i had one too many friends ask why i revved to 3k then turned off my car.., this was always what i had to do on my rebuilt turbo II...always or it flooded
