Trouble with car starting..

Today my car had to crank over 2 times before it would start. This has happened in the past, but it doesn't happen very often.

What could the problem be? Ignition coils? I had them replaced about 1 1/2 years ago under warranty.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check the plugs, they may be gone.

Is it hard starting all the time or intermittant? If its intermittant and the car has been driven for only 15 or 20 minutes a lot of people have this symptom. So far the remedy seems to be to pump the gas pedal a couple times during starting on that.
