corrosion on the terminals maybe? I dont think its ignition switch related since its making contact. I agree with VehiGAZ, battery or corrosion, maybe battery water lvl.

i wasnt sure if it was battery related or not since it seems like it only happens every so often, but ill try cleaning the terminals and then a good battery if that doesnt work.. but just in case.. any other ideas? i was wondering about temperatures because it only seems to happen if i start it up while the engine is between cold and normal running temp

From your description I'm not sure if it's turning over slowly or if it's turning over a long time before it fires.
Right after I got mine, It would start right up when cold, but after it warmed up it would crank & crank for 15-20 seconds before it would finally fire.
Took it to the Isuzu shop & they replaced the fuel pressure regulator (they indicated that this wasn't the first time they had seen this prob.)
She's been running great ever since. Hope any of this helps.

its doing a little of both, cranking for longer than normal (4-7 seconds maybe) then once it turns over it will sputter and sound like its going to die for a second then the rpms will jump and even out.. fuel pressure definately sounds like something that would be causing it, ill have to try giving it some extra gas and see if that helps... thanks for the reply! I'll let you know what I figure out

Yep, sounds like an FPR. had the same starting/sputtering/stalling problem sometime ago. Part costs ~$50 from St.Charles, but since you're still on the warranty get them to take care of it.

My VX would start up normal when cold (say, after sitting overnight). However, if after you were driving you stopped for gas or hit a store and then went to start it up..it would take 2-3 attempts of cranking over before it would finally start. I too changed the fuel pressure regulator and it has completely resolved the issue. Link below shows the regulator:
