Slow to start when "cold"

1999 FRC with 100k miles.

I've noticed recently when I start the car "cold" - (after it's been sitting for several hours or more) that it takes several starter rotations to fire. It used to start "immediately" - regradless of how long it was sitting. The battery is virtually new and it starts immediately if it is warm. I am wondering about fuel pressure...

Thoughts ?

Have you had this issue over several tanks of fuel?

It started just a few days ago, so no -only 1 tank of gas involved so far. I'll keep you posted on it.

I seen a few threads on these and it has to do with fuel pressure and air in the line. Do a search and you should see them pop up. You will need to measure your pressure cold and hot.
