Default quick question..

new to the forum and all, but i need an answer to a problem.
bought my 04 quad cab slt hemi about 7 months ago from a small lot dealer. it had 62k miles when i bought it and i have not had any trouble until a few weeks ago. i had been noticing that my truck had begun to have trouble starting if i had not started it in a few hours, taking it about 5 seconds to finally turn over. this problem has continued, but now it has trouble starting plus my truck shuts off as soon as it turns. another try right after starts it fine. any help is much appreciated.
