Possible causes of hard starting?? 900 1993



My '93 945 used to start like clockwork on the 4th revolution of the engine.

Recently its taking mor like 10 revs before it finally starts. What might be the possible causes??

*I have NOT changed the crank sensor (still original as far as I know) (it never doesn't start, just takes longer than usual)

*I recently replaced the fuel filter (Bosch) I have triple checked and havent found any leaks at either connection

*Is there a fuel accumulator that may be going?

*Fuel pressure regulator?

*Bad Gas?

*Leaky injectors?

MY plugs, air filter, cap and rotor have 18,000 miles on them, spark plug wires have 80,000 miles.

BTW my injection/ignition system has the small MAF sensor and does not have the standard 'soda can' ignition coil. Is that the REX system??

Thanks in advance for your responses

-Matt
