Default New spark plugs?

My camaro takes longer to start than it used to unless it is warm. It also occassionaly takes more than one turn of the key to start it up. Do i need new plugs?

Possibly. Clean your MAF too, with MAF cleaner. Could need a new fuel filter if that one is old as the hills. Might need to clean your injectors too, pour a full can of SeaFoam into a 1/4 tank of gas. THEN.....run that tank dry and put the new fuel filter on.

Could be a bunch of different things.

Use NGK TR55 or TR5's. Gap them to .050 And check all the gaps even if the parts guy says they come gapped already.

Best bet is to try free fixes like cleaning MAF before buying stuff
