Default Car barely wants to start.

Recently car barely wants to start. It starts, doesn't die, but it takes awhile to start at times.
Sometimes it needs to crank alittle, probably 3 turns, but not long cranks. they're short.
or sometimes i have to keep trying to turn the ignition and it clicks, then starts.
Sometimes it'll just start fine. Not sure whats wrong with it. I think it might be the distributor, but i don't want to replace
it if i don't have to, i see how much it runs for.
pretty sure the spark plugs and wires are fine. decided to replace fuses as well. alernator and starter comes into mind,
but i don't know why i keep thinking it's the distributor. no codes throwing up. i know the cap leaked once, replaced that. rough idle. jumping idle.

Car?

Might be a faulty ignition switch or starter.
