Car occassionally takes longer to start than usual,
even when its not cold out. Is my starter going? If so how much does it cost to replace or more importantly can it be done without a major deal.

Basically
When it happens the starter will turn for 2 seconds or so before the engine will catch. The time it takes varies and it doesn't happen all the time but it is becoming more frequent.

Maybe i'm off on the time
But you can easily tell when hearing it crank that its taking longer than normal. Normally it used to start up right away, with almost no delay. The more I think about it, it seems like the time is longer than two seconds.

How about putting the key in the on position, waiting for the "OK" and then starting it.
Try that. Also have you been using different gasoline? When was the last time you changed the spark plugs? If at all? Any codes
