The Master Relay (that funky dual duty thingie) may possibly be on the way out.
While it traditionally seems to fail during unbearably hot days, it does supply power to two critical components.
The ECM (Engine Brain Box as some recyclers like to call it)
The Fuel Pump.
During the start-up proceedure the pump's actuated via the ignition switch thru the
Master Relay. Once it's running, the pump is actuated by (as I recall) the Oil Pressure sensor switch.

Try this; turn on the key, wait for the CEL to go off, then crank.
