Default 2003 ses 24v hard starting after short drive

Have a 2003 ses 24v after a short drive say to store. Car will not start right up, have to turn key about any where from 3 to 12 times before engine starts. I'm talking about just turning the engine over for maybe 1.5 seconds per crank. If car iscan to set and cool off it will start everytime. This happen some in the past but not to me. My wife complained about this a few months ago but I could not get it to repeat itself. Now I'm at the beach on vacation and this has happened twice to me. The car has had a tune up within the last 2 months so it has new plugs filters wires etc. Any help with this would be appreciated.

In the past my wife would turn the key and the engine turn overbut would not start until it sat a while. It did this to me but like I said in the above post if you turn the key and turn the engine over just very quickly and keep trying it will start.
