Check spark plugs, fuel filter and throttle body to start. Oh yeah and a clean air filter.

I've been having the same problem recently. I'm gonna be changing my plugs, fuel filter next week when I'm home and see if that helps.

perhaps ure fuel filter

I know when you're low on gas, the car almost dies when starting... so it could be fuel thing

Mine has always had that problem. What I have to do is put the key in, turn it all the way to the right (without cranking it over), let it sit for about 2-3 seconds, and then it starts right up. I have changed fuel filter, had a complete tuneup and I am still having the problem.
