The car starts developing the problem of hard starting two days ago. I will have to try at least three times, and when it eventually starts, it will be very slow until after five to ten minutes before it partially stabilizes.

scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge in US auto parts rent it see our link. it may be low fuel pressure causing hard starting if not at minimum pressure gives problems.
