My car started not turning over every time. Its doing this more more.
First you just had to crank it. A few times or let it set a few mins.
Now it rarely starts. Runs fine once it starts. It cranks and I get
Fuel to the fuel rail and spark. Every time.

Hi there,

Start with checking that you still have injector pulse when it won't start, also see if you can get the car to sit for a while with a fuel pressure gauge attached to see if you are loosing rail pressure, do a scan to check for any unresolved fault codes as well, start here.
