huh, that's sorta weird, My vehicle has over 130,000 miles on it, and even when I had spark plugs with a gap 3 times what it was supposed to be It always started on first crank. It might be your fuel pump, but check your spark plug wires, if the insulators on the wires are cracked or cut, you could just be getting a bad or no spark, and that could cause it to be bad. Is there a miss in the engine? if it's mis-fireing, it could be from that.

Which vehicle is this on btw? if it's the camry, you could take the accord and jump start it, even if its not dead, this will give the battery a good boost, then drive the car for a good 10 miles. the alternator (if it's fine) should do it's job and make the battery full power. Although I doubt it is the battery since you replaced it not so long ago (thats about how many miles my new battery has, 5-7000 miles). I'd still try it tho and see the results, winter can wreak havok on your batteries.
