The car runs fine and cranks fine when I start it, but it just became very difficult to start. Once it does, it's back to normal while operating. It seems to me that maybe the starter is not engaging properly to turn the engine over. When I turn the key to start, I hear the starter and the RPMs sit at .25 while cranking.
Surely you know your starters normal sound, no?
.25 means 250 rpm (dial .25x 1000 = 250)
Most cars do near 300, but gee, in alaska its less and starts. so....
there are vast reasons for non starts.
from water in a cylinder
to weak battery.
weak spark
bad fueling (excess or not enough)
to never doing a tune up ever, that you?
This car has OBD2, if a scan tool is attached, you can
check to see if water temp, is the same as outdoors, on first start.
if the temp shows, say -20F at 70F outdoors, the ECT is bad.
this would cause flooding.
what can you do, plenty of willing to own tools, are you. or do you like to guess?
compression good.
battery good, try a barrowed good battery that measure 12.6vdc rested.
put in new spark plugs, using under hood sticker stated gaps.
does the car start good on test fuel? with the fuel pump relay pulled.
yes, then motor and spark is good, and fueling is bad.
(too much or too little) ill stop here, but you can see where im going.

Could be the starter motor cranking too slowly or a fault in the wiring not allowing power to the ignition when starter is engaged.

check to make sure the fuel pump,injectors and fuel pressure regulator don't have any internal leaks check the fuel pressure immediatlly after it is shut off and two hours later there should be at most a very slight difference

Do you mean when you say just won't turn over that the engine does not crank like a dead battery? Or do you mean it will not fire and run? You can take the breather hose off and spray some carb cleaner in it and replace the breather hose and try to start it. If it sputters you are still not getting fuel to the engine. This may be a bad fuel filter. But befoe we go to that lets check the fuses. Under the dash on your left driver side should be a fuse box. The remove the cover over it and look at the diagram. There should be one fuse marked ignition. Follow where the diagram shows you on the box. Sometimes the box has a tool for pulling these fuses. If not then needle nose pliars will work. Once you locate the fuse and have it out then lookk in the side window. There is a wire. If you see it has seperated or melted then replace it with same amp fuse. it is best to check all your fuses one at a time to be sure more then one did not go bad. Once that is all done and you can start your car then your good to go. If you didn't find a bad fuse then look under the hood. There is also a fuse box located there.
it is usually located on one of the wheel wells close to the firewall or windshield. It will have a cover over the top with the names of the types of fuses in it. one may say ignition. Check that one for damage.
If once you are done checking all the fuses and you are not on the road yet then lets continue on to the next item. let me know and I will tell you whats next. Raz

Sounds like a starter to me. Pull it and take it to parts house for bench test. Do not replace unless they say it is bad.

Was some job make recently there? Its possible that your "theft" system is activated and need enter some unlock code. Have there some aftermark alamr? Are you disconnected the battery recently?
