Engine hard to start. 98 Camaro SS with 80,125 miles.
About 80k miles is when this started happening. The engine takes almost 3-4 seconds for the engine to start. Before, as soon as I turn the key, the engine would fire right up. The hard start would happen when ever it wants, warm or cold. Had the battery checked and the alternator checked @ auto zone, all fine they say. But the volt meter in the car sits just above 13. Maybe fuel fuel filter? I always gas up with 91 octane 76. Any ideas?? Head lights aren't dim. But I did noticed last night that the head lights dimmed than back to normal. Twice already. I have an optima battery. Thanks for the help.

I was thinking about the fuel filter, too, but not sure if that's it, but heck, easy fix, why not change it? Plugs? I think I should change them. It's maybe been awhile. No check engine light. Any other things I should check??
