What's MY?
Miles?
C'mon, give a little help here.

First thing to check is, the starter.
They do not last forever, especially w/ headers + hot climates.
A starter motor in the throes of death probably starts cranking slower and slower.
Until, it totally dies.

IF vehicle battery's strong, check starter.
Which may involve removal for testing.

First guess, given so little info, is battery. Had one last month, was laboring for about a day, then wouldn't turn over at all. battery was shot.

check your battery connections, then alternator connections then starter connections. Then test the battery/starter/alternator circuit. youll find the issue.
