Default starting problems

Since its been cold my car takes an extra 1-2 seconds to start and this morning it turned over for like 3 seconds then it turned off, I fired it back up like nothin. Do you think it is the Denzo Iridium spark plugs I've had in the car for 4 months? Should I just not worry about anything, because I'm not.

I'd pull the plugs and check them out.
I had some dead starts when it got cold here. Put a new set of Bosch Plat2's and haven't had a bad start since.

well mine already came gapped, and is there something wrong with running iridium plugs?( i got them for free so I just put them in and my stock plugs were shot after 124K miles on them).

How old is the battery? Does it seem sluggish when cranking, or does it just take longer to fire?
