Default very sloooow start up, car sometimes wont start

ok.. this started happening a few weeks ago... every time i go to start my car either 1. it struggle to start up, the idle will be really low and ill have to give my car gas just so it wont stall out; 2. ill go to start it up and my fuel pump wont prime, then i'll wait like 5 mins and it will prime and ill be able to start it up as described in #1

anyone know what this problem could be??

I'm betting it's a number of things, and one of those is your starter.

I agree.

I have the same problem with my car, but never had the time to replace it.
