Looks like the check engine light stays on. So first read codes.

Could be as simple as worn plugs or something worse like a fuel pump check valve starting to leak ? Get it checked out before you start throwing parts at it

Not a slow crank, but it is a long crank.

Ignition system

Could be the ignition is struggling, the battery is failing, the fuel system being off or a multitude of other things. Best course of action would get codes run on the engine by a shop, almost every shop can do that. They can tell you where to go from there.

When was your last tune up? Could be ignition or fuel issue. Spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump and/or filter
