does it crank and crank and crank and not start up, but eventually, it starts every time? kinda common, nobody seems to know the cause due to the intermittent nature of the problem.

Try this.....

When you turn the key and it starts to crank.... tap the gas a little and open up that TB. I found out I was running pig rich and had trouble turning over after the turn. All I have to do now is tap the gas when turning it over and it turns over after the 2nd crank.
