Narrative:
On the second pushback at phx on engine start the left engine would not start. We again returned to the gate and maintenance changed the left engine igniter box. This aircraft had been written up previously for marginal airflow. The cabin temp gage indicated 96 degrees in the aircraft. This was even though we had the APU running and then ground preconditioned air. Once airborne I called dispatch and informed the dispatcher I would not take this aircraft to another hot destination as scheduled.
