Default Problem starting my SC300

for the last 3 or 4 days my car wont start on the first try......I first thought it was battery but i put a portable jumper on it and it will do the same thing as if it wasnt even on there.....it takes about 10 or so tries to get it started, and the engine will start instantly, no initial crank noise....after that the rest of the day it is working perfectly normal....anyone know why this could be?....me and my friends have been trying to problem solving and figure this out but it just doesnt add up.....im going to change he spark plugs tomorrow since i was going to do it anyways...

i figure out that it was the fuel filter leaking.....i need to replace it now, i tried doing it myself and now have 5 gallons of useless gasoline since i dont want to put it back in the car since there is so much crap in it......anyone know how much it will cost to get a shop to replace it?....im going to try tomorrow to get it off but with my luck i wont be able to...
