Next time, try this. Turn on the ignition but don't attempt to start it. Do that about 3 times and THEN crank it to see if it will fire. If it does, the problem is probably fuel pressure. maybe you just don't have enough fuel pressure when you crank the engine. It's possible that the pressure regulator is allowing pressure to drop while the vehicle isn't running and it can't build pressure quickly enough when you engage the starter. When you turn the key on and let the fuel pump run for a couple seconds it allows the fuel line to build pressure. Just a thought. It could also be low compression, old, tired sparkplugs or general need for a tuneup.
