Camry 1988. 220,000+ miles, 4 cylinder

Recently replaced the battery on my camry. 2 days after that the engine won't start unless I turn the key twice. On the first turn it sputters and dies, 2nd turn usually works. If the car if off for a few hours the first turn works but if overnight, it takes two.
