I have a 97 3.8L camaro and when i go to start it, it takes two times for it to start. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Probably wimpy fuel pressure or a weaker than normal spark.

May not be holding fuel pressure when not running. Try priming the FI system, by turning the key on & off several times before cranking engine. If engine start OK after that,there isa pressure leak which could be caused by a bad fuel pump, bad regulator, a leaky injector, or an actual fuel leak.

Just to add to Pete's comment the fuel pump can easilygo bad if your one of those people who wait till your real low on gas before getting some.
