I have an 03 Chrysler T&C LXI 3.8L, fwd,65,000 miles. When trying to start the car it will crank excessively without starting. When I turn off the ignition and start again sometimes 2-5 times it will start right up. I does this after sitting overnight-cold or just after sitting when driven and warm. It doesn't happen everytime but it started the last two weeks and it happens regularly. This same problem happened approx. 9 months ago, but went away after 3 weeks.
The only repairs to the vehicle were to replace the front sway bar bushings and links and repair leaking water pump at 60,000 mi. and new pads and rotors for front and rear brakes at same mileage.
I made a donation of $5 before I submitted this but not sure it is linked to this question. Thanks for your answer!!

First thing we need to do is find out if it is missing spark or fuel pressure when it wont start. Is or has the check engine light been on?
