Default Starting issue

Recently my trucks been having trouble starting up. When I turn the key over it turns over many times before finally starting. It usually only does this if its been sitting longer than 30 minutes.
However, when I start it with my remote starter, no issue. Turns over 2-3 times and fires right up. I replaced the starter 6 months ago.

Any ideas as to what this could be? Thanks

Probably losing fuel pressure while sitting. Mine does it. Try turning the key to the "on" position, wait about 30 seconds or so until the fuel pump shuts off. Then turn the key to start it.

As I said, mine does exactly the same thing. If I start it without the remote start, I just wait a few seconds like I said above. Been that way in mine since Ive owned it 2 1/2 years ago.
