My 1995 Nissan Maxima cranks a couple of times before it starts. This can sometimes be very embarassing. The battery is brand new. It is auto shift.
Check the camshaft position sensor. This can often cause a delayed start as the computer has to revert to the crank sensor for ignition and injector timing, which has to go through 2 complete engine revolutions to index properly, which can take 10-15 seconds.
Test for proper fuel pressure with a test gauge on the fuel rail, most throttle body injection cars (TBI) are between 13 psi and 17 psi. and most (DPI) direct port inject systems are between 40 psi and 55 psi. If no or little fuel pressure is observed and there is 12 volt power present at the fuel pump, the fuel pump has failed and needs replacing.
