Hello, do you have a scan tool capable of reading codes? If not they are relatively cheap on Amazon for about $20. Also any auto parts store can do a scan for free and check the battery free of charge. There are numerous reasons why the car may take long to start, and so we should start with a battery/cranking test and a computer scan.
