6th Gen ('00-'05): Hard starting

Hard starting
This has been happening ever since I bought jack. In the morning when I go to start the car it would crank for atleast 5 secs maybe a bit more before firing up. It would run and feel fine once I start driving. I can start the car thru the day and it would fire right up. But as soon as I leave it over night I get that long start in da am where can I start to look for to fix this...its quite embarrassing when it dont fire up normally

Lately around 76....but it did that when it was 40-50. I think I have tried that before but still got a longstart. I will try again in da am

With the key on for a few seconds it allows fuel to pressurize; keep experimenting with between 3 - 5 seconds with the key on before cranking over. If it consistently starts normally with non extended cranking then I would be leaning toward a fuel problem:
I would consider using a bottle of "sea foam" or techron - Amazon.com: techron
run your tank down to almost E - then add the bottle before you fill up the tank. Run the car a little harder than you normally drive it with this tank of fuel. Run the tank almost to Empty before you fill up again.
After this, replace the fuel filter; then see if your car starts normally again
