In the last month my car has been slow to start, I thought it was the factory
battery on its last leg. Well the battery finaly did die so I replaced it.
Now its getting plenty of cranking power but it is still starting slow.
By slow I mean like 3 seconds of cranking where as it used to start
right up in say 1 second. Car has 50 k and the spark plugs have only
about 20k on them...... The car runs perfect once started, what else
should I check???

Check the basics, plug wires, c packs, even plugs, could be a bad one.

Make sure ur fuel pump is getting proper pressure to ur rails.
