car takes forever to start

When i come to start my car i need to hold the key for at least 30 seconds before it starts. It seems to do it when its cold or when its been sitting for awhile, but sometimes it randomly does it.

this recently happen to me, i had to replace the coil. check your fuel pump regulators, and fuel rails for pressure. its simple to do, only need a couple of wrenches.

take a distributer of a buddies car and put it on yours and see if it does the same thing, its the fastest way to rule out 5 or 6 components of the distributor that may be your culprit.
