I'm not so sure....

My '96 has been a hard starter since the day I bought it. Over 5 years and 80k miles I tried everything due to attrition or swaps from other cars. Nothing helped.
Over the last week I swapped motors in the car, part of a longer story that I'll post when I have the time.
The 'new' motor got the fuel injectors, throttle body, ignition, ecu, starter and all the sensors from the original motor. Guess what? The new motor starts on the first crank every time.
The prevailing theory at the moment is that a variation in cam timing is at the heart of all this. I think I can hear a distinct difference in the cranking sound of the two motors, although no one else hears it.
I'll sort through it all when I have a chance to disassemble the original motor.
