If the engine is not spinning over fast you most likely have a problem with your battery. Mine was doing that early this spring. I checked the battery start voltage and saw that it was sagging indicating that the battery was weak. I installed a new battery and it was starting normal then. Have your battery checked at a local parts store. They will usually do this as a free service. If your battery is over four years old it is most likely the problem.
