Since I believe your car is basically a Toyota Camry, I would first replace the coil (OEM only). This frequently solves many Toyota starting problems. There may be a small crack in the housing or it may be remaining saturated too long. If the problem persists, focus on the Ignition Control Module (ICM). Failing ICMs are usually responsible for saturation problems. The ignition system may spark but not when the ECM (computer) wants it to. These are problematic components on all cars of this generation and should be replaced every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.
