Toyota Corolla Starting Problem
My car recently went to the Mechanic to replace a leaking seal between the gear box and the engine, as well as replace the rings in the engine. Now when I turn the key in the ignition, the engine cranks up but does not start. It will only start about after 5 tries. Sometimes the problem doesn't show up at all. The computer diagnostics shows everything is okay with the electrical system. What is causing the starting problem now?

Low fuel pressure. Intermittent failure of the ignition coil(s). Intermittent fuel pump failure.
