Um... I had a Camaro that had this problem. Took a few turns to start.

Replaced the started and was good as gold. Started first try like a champ!

Thanks for the input, but sometimes it will start and die right away so I am pretty sure the stater is good. There is no cranking problems at all.

Definitley not a starter problem.

Sounds like a fuel problem to me for the most part. I'd suggest checking that route out first.

I checked the ohm reading on the injectors yesterday, they were all good. I get a different ohm reading on the 3 coilpacks but all are fairly close, so I think they are ok. I also took the egr off and cleaned it out, but it was not too bad so I doubt that helped anything. I should stop by my old job and put the gauges on the fuel system and see how that is. I will try to do that today.

Today I checked the fuel pressure, was almost 50 psi so that is good. I also scanned the car and nothing came up bad, so I have no idea what is going on.
