Car Starting problem

I have a 1998 Nissan Maxima with 146K miles and I'm living in north Kansas. When I start my car in the winter early morning for the last few days, the engine is cranking without starting. The battery seems to be fine. The engine will crank for few seconds and it will shut off. After 9-10 tries, the engine will start. After I drive the car for some time and if I start the car within 3-4 hours , it is starting fine. When I went to the mechanic , he is saying that everything seems to be fine with the engine. Can you please provide suggestion what can I do to correct this problem. Thanks!

How long do u 'try' - each start trial, how many secs?

Guessing:
- the oxidized connectors, all '2000' of 'em ... go through the pages, see linky below. Cleanup time...
- fuel pump growing lazy mechanically -or- just oxidized pwr connectors (fuel pressure to be tested)
- dying coilpacks; only replacement helps. (They die by the mile)
- smbdy never changed dem plugs? ...or changed into BOSCH problims. Swap immediately into denso/ngk iridium.
- MAF dying (disconnect the connecor and test. if the problem is there, starts immediately but with 2k rpm ceiling)
