Default hard to start- ignition problem? need tune up?

usually after driving, when you come back the car doesn't start on the first try but when you turn the key on the second time, it starts right up. if it doesn't start on the first try, it ALWAYS start on the second try.

what is it? spark plugs? ignition problems? starter?
thanks

Default doesn't start

Are you saying the engine doesn't start or doesn't turn over as I don't see what lubing the flywheel would do if it cranks but doesn't start (no ignition).

IF IT CRANKS DISREGARD,
if the key turns and clicks or cranks for a split second, then try lube flywheel,we done this a shop many times and other shops have done this too
