does it seem to be turning over slower than normal? if so check the cable connections, and batteries, if on is week may cause this, or could be starter showing signs, of wear.

I had that problem and it turned out that my starter was weak and wasn't turning the engine over fast enough,I replaced the starter and it fixed my problem
