    Does the engine actually crank like normal, or do you just get a "tick" every second or so?

    Ah ok, you confused me by saying "ticking" lol!

    If it was that I had an answer, but as it's cranking then pass.

    Obviously you need to check fuel and air, I'd say morelikely fuel to be the problem, perhaps the fuel pump??

    This happened to mine at about 35k miles. Was fixed under warranty, (only had the car a couple of weeks). I think it was the injector seals needed replacing. Can't say it's the same problem, but had the same starting issue.
