The max used to start immediately when i turn the key, but now it seem to not want to start without a little gas and an extra split second of turning the key longer.

any suggestions guys?

mine does that too, i replaced the starter, but the starter wasnt new, its refurbished but, i think it might be my fuel pump.

Does this happen when hot or cold
it could be
ECTS
fuel filter
bad tps
or the infamos PCV valve

I also have similar problem recently. And I think mine is worse.

Sometimes when I turned the key all the way to start the car. Nothing happens! However if I put the key in the last position(not sure about the name, maybe ignition slot) for a while, say 3 or 5 seconds before I try again, it would start.

Seems like it happens more likely when it is hot and my car has been sitting in direct sunshine for a few hours. I live in southern California where it is sizzling hot these days. Nontheless, it happened in parking structure too. So I don't think hot temperature is the only key factor.

I installed a brand new starter six months ago. So starter problem is off the table in this issue.

I don't have any problem starting up in every morning(e.g. cold start).

I had my battery tested at Autozone, and it is good.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

replace your fuel filter if you have not done so. not enough fuel flow/pressure for cold start.

this also happens when you get close to an empty gas tank.

if that doesn't fix it, check your plugs.

after that there's a long list of sensors & other stuff. but first things first.
