Default Hard starts in morning

06' V6

I've noticed in the morning that the car seems to bog when starting. I'll turn the key, the RPM's will dive below 0, but they hang there for a couple seconds and then the engine will fire. The rest of the day, it seems ok starting up, where a second after turning the key, it fires. Would this point to a possible battery issue, and if so, what's a good test (Other than the voltmeter to the posts; I'll prob get 12V if I can drive it all day) Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Check you PCV valve. I has the same problem. Changed my PCV, plugs, fuel filter and cleaned my air filter and it went away. Not sure which was the culprit.

I've got the same thing happening to my 07' V6 with 39k on it.
Did changing the PCV fix the problem?
