In the last week or so, it cranks for 2-3 seconds before starting whereas it used to start immediately. I installed a new starter 6 months ago as you all may recall. I also installed a K&N fuel filter 10 month ago. No issues until last week.

Research online and on FRRAX is pointing to a fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. Or the battery. Or the spark plugs.

Car runs super fine once started and starts right up once it has been running. If it sits 6+ hours, it'll revert to needing extra time.

Suggestions?

But argh, we're talking about pulling 4th gen plugs which is about as fun as dropping the axle to replace the tank.

I can do 4th gen (non EGR cars) plugs in about 45 minutes...give or take.

The trick is to take one of these:

and apply it to the wrench flats on one of these:

I just reach back and put the socket on the plug (after pulling the plug wire, of course) and then slide the wrench in place and loosen the plugs. When I'm done, I take the new plugs and work back to front and start them by hand, drop the socket on and wind them down hand tight, snug with the flexible box end ratcheting wrench.

The rear passengers side plug still has to be done from the bottom...I think. (I can't remember if I got that one or not).
