[Sorry for the double post, wrong forum earlier]

I have done the easy tune up items (cap/rotor, plugs and wires, air filter, oil change and flame trap), but the car seems to crank for a very long time (5-10 seconds) before it starts. The problem persists whether the car sat for a few days or a few minutes. Once it does start, everything is fine. The idle is smooth and it has good power. Fuel consumption seems normal (26-27 on the highway).

The information that I have seen ranges from cleaning the throttle body, intake air leaks, bad AMM, and injector 0-ring leaks. Is there any that is far above in being the most likely culprit?

Thanks!

Jason
