Default 01SS Fuel Issue

I have been noticing when i turn the ignition the car doesnt jump to life like it use to, seems to kinda choke more and then start but without the same gusto as before. Is this an old fuel filter problem....or am i looking at fuel pump, spark plugs and injectors?

Do you mean it's just turning over slower? Have the battery load tested. If you think it's a fuel issue pick up a fuel pressure gauge and see what it is. Fuel filter and plugs original? How many miles? No SES light?

I do not know if the filter is original, the plugs are for sure and its got 87000 miles on it. When i turn the key it seems to take an extra second to ignite and turnover and when it does it doesnt rev as high, does roar to life, it just kinda starts....doesnt sound bad i just noticed a change and wondered if it was a big deal.
