My Kia Sedona rarely starts on the first try but will always start on the second turn of the ignition key. Any thoughts on why it doesn’t fire right up? All else with the minivan appears ok.

Try this. Turn on the ignition, but do not try to start it. give it say 5 - 10 seconds and try again.

My guess is w weak fuel pump, or for some reason the fuel lines are draining back into the tank over night.
