Default Starting issue

I have an 04 Accord 6 speed (V6) coupe. Today (2 out of 3 times) the engine has cranked maybe 5-7 seconds before starting. Normally starts right up. It has 55k miles, and no trouble codes are found.
Any ideas of where to look first?

Thanks!

Default RE: Starting issue

Try starting w/ this procedure: Turn keyswitch to ON for 5 secs, then try to start. If this helps, theslow start is due to either fuel pump(perhaps sticking momentarily), fuel filter, or fuel tank inlet screen preventing full flow rate, and increasing time to reach full fuel pressure on the fuel rail.

good luck

Thanks. I thought fuel delivery related as well!
