For like the past three weeks, it takes my car a little longer than usual to start up, usually it would start right up, but now it takes like 8 or 9 seconds. The check engine light has been on for like a month but it was for excessive egr flow and lean in bank one. could that be part of it. i was going to replace the egr valve in the next couple days, but i dont know what would cause the hard starts. I also started to notice alot of fluid coming out of the tailpipes. im not sure if its just water or if its gas. any help is greatly appreciated.
