My car has recently developed a problem sometimes for wanting to crank for a while before it will turn over but once it does its fine. Can this be a fuel related problem i heard?

If you leave it sit for a couple of days and then try it, does the same thing happen?

Usually it is fuel related.

Yeah Id say it's most likely a fuel problem, check the filter and test your fuel pressure.

im having the same sort of problems, it started happening last fall before i put my car into storage. last month i did a head cam swap and after i was done with that it still did the same thing. today i tried to start it up to take it for a little spin and it wouldnt start after cranking it over for awhile so i decided to take a look under the car quick, and i moved the fuel filter around a bit and after that the car started right up. i dont know if it was luck or if it is something to do with the filter.
