Toronto,
I;ve been experiencing this issue with the engine not turning on a cold start. It takes a few tries but eventually it turns and starts up as normal. The car takes around 3-4 turns to start so I'm not sure if this is a starter issue.

I'm also experiencing some low alternator voltage which may be a cause of bad grounding. Would this have any effect on the issue?

Thanks in advance!
 
To double check on that starter charge up the battery to 14 volts. Bad grounding plays a a big part. Go through your engine bay and check all your grounds or repair them.
