Not sure if this is really a problem, but it's something that hasn't happened before. Ever since yesterday it's been taking a little longer for my X to start. It struggles before it starts, unless I start it after a small break of already been started, then it starts like normal. It's not colder today than any other day, it's actually better weather and warmer then it's been in a few weeks. My new plugs and wires should be coming next week, not sure if that will fix it though. Anybody have any thoughts or remedies?

Plugs and plug wires will help, but if this "all of a sudden" started there might be something else?

Check you batt. voltage and your Alternators charging power.
 






I'm going to check that stuff now. Yesterday I was going for the header install and had the battery taken out. Maybe the terminals aren't tight. Thanks!
 






How long has it been since you replaced you batt. It might just be dying.
 






Battery is 1 or 2 years old. I tightened the terminals more and am waiting a couple hours so I can see if this is still happening.
