hey man, my lude does the same thing but when its really hot and humid outside and my car has been sitting there it takes a while to start. Or sometimes i spray starting fluid through my intake to start it

IF its hot and humid and the car has a hard time starting, Its most likly the main relay thats over in the steering collum. I have noticed that they go bad easily. Boostless lude. If you say you spray some starting fluid that would leed to a bad fuel pump. Tuneup possibally too might help if not done.
