What would cause a 1989 GMC Jimmy to not start up until it has cranked over about 6 to 8 times?

Try turning on the key for a few seconds to let fuel pressure build THEN try the starter. If it's just taking a few seconds to build fuel pressure you might solve the problem by not being in such a hurry. If the engine starts right up when you do that it could indicate a bad pressure regulator or a weak fuel pump.

Why engines cranked multiple times?
Time for service.
Do loose battery cables cause car to go dead?
No, the alternator takes over for the battery once the car has been cranked. Try this, start the car; remove the positive cable from the battery; if the car dies, then you have a faulty alternator. Of course it makes sense to make sure the battery cables are tight at all times.
Geo Storm just goes dead in middle of road it can't be cranked except to jump start it it does not sputter before going dead?
If the only way to start it is to jump start it then the alternator is the most probable cause. While its running check that the battery voltage is 14 volts dc or more. If it is 12 volts or below then the alternator is either bad or the wiring to it is bad. The main wire (the large one that is attached seperately to the body of the alternator) should have battery voltage to it at all times.
Why does the power to your car stereo go out when you turn on the car?
If your car stereo is always hot at all times it shouldn't go out or has connectivity when at "start" Turning the key from "on" to "start" temporarily cuts out the power connectivity. Stereos are not designed to have power at "start" because pretty much the starter uses much amperage and voltage from the battery the seconds while the engine is being cranked

Replace the fuel pump relay, the one inside the glove box, first one on the left. If that relay fails, the engine will still start but only after the engine is cranked over several times and oil pressure has come up.
