For quite some time now, my car has typically required two tries to start whenever it's been sitting for more than several hours (e.g. in the morning). On the first key turn, it'll crank several times, then sputter and die. On the second try, it starts just fine with hardly any cranking.
Now all of a sudden, it's gotten worse. On the first key turn, it cranks and there's a tiny sputter, but the starter just keeps cranking. On the second try, it sputters and dies like above, and finally starts on the third try.
I've checked a number of things that I thought could be causing this - DI cassette, plugs, fuel pressure, compression - and can't really find anything wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions for other things to check? Is there a way to check/test the injectors?
