I have a Toyota Corolla 2001. Every time I try to start the car I must turn it over once for a couple of seconds, then stop, then I turn the key again and it starts right away every time. It has been doing this for at least a year or two. FYI after it started doing this I have replaced the battery, ignition switch, air filter and have also checked the spark plugs. Anyone got any ideas what's happening. Thank You

P.S. I do notice if I have just turned the car off and start it again within about 15 minutes it sometimes starts right away (about 25-50% of the time).

Weak fuel pump?

might be short somewhere.. ignition.. starter solenoid

someone came to my work with the same problem not to long ago

actually check the battery first and connector if its good... go from there

If it's a short, would it not keep happening all the time instead of just the 2nd time he tries to start?

I was going to say a fuel pressure problem...
