I agree with hamhead. When you say its not starting like it should, what exactly is it doing ??

check spark plugs, spark cables and connections of wires.
Also it can be caused by faulty injector - one (or more) injector(s) can pour fuel when it should be closed. And your engine wouldn't start until it will be ventilated (couple of times you turn it with starter).
Is your fuel consamption the same as before your starting problems?
Is your idle stable?
