06 2.5 hard starting

[XDetoursX]

Car has 35k on it and just recently became hard to start. It cranks over fine, but takes a while to fire up. Any ideas on what it could be?

Thanks

Think your battery might be going? I hear the worst thing for them is a hot summer.

Thanks for the response realmac, but I had the battery tested twice and it's fine. The alternator is good too. I've read that there was a recall on the crank sensor so I might take it in to see if it's been changed.

Strange thing is that it was starting fine up until 2 weeks ago. I've checked all the wiring and hoses and they are fine. Seems like the longer it sits, the harder it is to start.
