Starting engine mystery - any sleuths out there?

88 Prelude SI

This problem is getting steadily worse.

The car is 5-spd manual with about 100k.

When I crank the car, it starts then immediately cuts off like I put the Ignition switch into OFF.

The next day, it takes a couple of times to crank before the engine will run.

Last night, I had to crank it about a dozen times before the engine stayed running. When I got home, I turned OFF the engine. Then I tried to restart it and it started up fine.

What should I check/replace?

12/15 - Another piece to the puzzle. The car's being sitting in the driveway for a couple of days. Yesterday, I get home and check battery voltage (12.2) and found it kinda low. The temperature outside was 65. I crank the engine and it starts up and continues to run with no problems.

Any ideas out there?
