Default Starting problem

Hey, lately i have been noticing that my car has been taking quite a long time to start up when its cold. yes i know a engine takes longer to start when its cold, but this is definetly longr than it should be. u guys have any ideas or ways that i can fix this? it just sits there turning the starter over and nothign happening for a bit then it catches and starts up. doesnt do it when the car is warm

thanks

You may be having a fuel pump issue. Pressure bleeding back down. Try this on your next cald start. Cycle the key 2-3 times on/off before going to the crank position. If it fires right up after doing that, either your f/p is going bad orthe pressure is bleeding off somewhere.
