So my car started having this weird issue where it started taking a longer time to start than usual. Now after sitting overnight when I try to start it takes several cranks before it starts and when it does kind of like wants to start for several seconds and then comes on... Im only worrying that this is something thats gonna get to the point where my car wont start.

Any ideas?

Have your battery checked at a parts store. If the cooler weather is causing it to struggle in the morning, it's only going to get worse. You can also try jumping it from a running vehicle. If that helps it start faster, your battery is probably the problem.

^^ I Agree. either battery, or could possibly be starter going shitty or maybe main relay. all easily fixed.

Its weird I go outside today after leaving it off for about 5 hours and it turned on right away no problem...

Im guessing it's the starter, it's pretty easy to fix just dont get a durashit starter they sound terrible at startup.

If it was noticeably warmer when you started it this time than it was when you had trouble starting it, that would support the bad battery theory.

Is the engine cranking more slowly than usual or cranking fine but having difficulty firing up?

Takin a shot in the dark, but to add my two cents if it just started acting up like this it might be due to weather changes. In which case would lead me to think that it was the IAC, I had a similar problem before, but starting issues would not bother me after I had initially run the car because the engine was already warm.
