could be your fuel pump.
next time try turning the key all the way just before start, it will let the fuel pump prime a little. see if that makes any difference.
also check your battery connections, look for corrosion on the terminals and wires. how old is the battery itself?

x2 i have seen problems like this before and it could definately be the fuel pump causing the problem
