Default Tough getting car to start...

Today around 6pm, crank, crank, no start. Tried 3 times and wont start. Gave it a little gas and heard it trying to start. Few more gas steps and it comes alive. Just wondering what happened... Never happened to me before. Changed spark plugs about 2 months ago. No CEL.

Last time i started it was late last night to a different parking spot.

Thanks for any input.

usualy this happend to my 2.8 when it was really hot how was the weather? sounds like it needed gas so try cleaning the injectors also vagcom the car check for codes if the o2 sensors are bad it will cause issues with starting
