I have been having continuous problems with my elcetrical system. Lately the car won't start on the first turn of the ignition but usually stars the second or third turn. I replaced the battery when autozone told me that was the problem. What is causing this?

Does the starter crank or not at all. When it does it does it just click. Maybe a possible ingnition switch

Sounds like you have to prime the fuel system a couple of times to get fuel. Check the fuel pressure and coolant temperature sensor.
