Default Slow Start Help Please

HI All,
Our 05 Mustang with the 4.0lt. and 55k miles has began to start a second or so slower than from new. We usually crank and it starts immediatly, now over the last couple of days it cranks for a second or so longer than normal before starting. New air filter, plugs and cleaned throttle body. Still no change. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bob

Fuel filter? Maybe pressure is taking a bit longer to build up.

No problem. Glad it was something simple.

Get one of these charger/desulfators,they really DO work.

I have two of them and they are working continuously to keep my batteries in top shape.I've brought batteries back from the dead using them.
