starting problem

[Steve Rissler]

Got a starting problem.  Most of the time, especially when it's warm out
and the engine is cold, the starter cranks for about 5-7 seconds before
barely catching.  It also does this when I start it in the morning, and
the car is garaged.  But when the engine is moderately warm, it will
start right up.  The car has always started right up before - not sure
what has changed.  Could this be a sensor problem or a vacuum leak?
