Mine does that when I've been driving around with a nearly empty gas tank for a few days. My guess is water contamination in the gas combined with low pressure from a cold start. Try this: Flip the key into on (the dash lights up, beeps, etc, the normal run key position) and let the fuel pump prime. Then crank it...odds are it'll start right up.
