2003 escape starting problem

I have a 2003 Escape I bought used a little over a year ago with 25K. Once in a while, it will not start in the morning. It will crank but not turn over. When I try again to start it, I have to give it gas and it will catch after about 5 seconds. Any suggestions?

It could also be the IAC valve.
