Engine sometimes guts out While starting up.

Hello.
My 850 2,5 gle from 1993 sometimes cuts out when I try to start it up. Engine turns as usual but just wont start... Then when I turn the key again it starts right up and runs perfectly..... Can anyone help identify the problem?
Best regards Thorsten

Likely low fuel pressure. I would turn the key, wait 5 seconds, then start the car. When was the last time the car was tuned up? Plugs, wires, rotor, cap?
