98 Kia Sephia Only starts after a few turns

I have changed the timing belt, fuel pump, cam shaft position sensor, TPS sensor, cleaned the injectors, and computer. It sounds like if it wants to start but does not catch fire. My list of idea's have run out. Can some one please help......

I had some what of the same problem it wouldnt start but attimes it would fire but stall right out as soon as it started...I changed the crank postioin sensor and it starts fine.

I have already changed that part, did not seem to fix the problem. Have not had a problem with it stalling. Once it starts it is fine. Getting it started sometimes seems to be the problem.

example: I turn the key and the engine cranks but does not roll over. If I wait about a min then try it again, usually by this time I am holding down the gas peddle it will turn on to go.

Try shaking the engine compartment fuse box while someone cranks it. The fuse box has connection issues for the fuel pump relay.
