I've been noticing that my Si has been taking longer and longer to startup from a cold start. When I first got the car...as soon as I'd turn the key it would turn over within one or two cranks of the starter. Now it takes about 5
cranks of the starter before she starts up from a cold setting.

How long do you guys typically turn the key before the car actually turns over? And how long is too long for a honda? (the reason I ask is because my girlfriend's ex starts up almost immediately...whereas mine takes like 2-3 seconds of cranking).
