Vt V6 Engine would start pretty much on first crank. Lately it was been taking 4-6 cranks before igniting. cranking freely. not the end of the world but still.

Leads, plugs, coils are relativity new and good quality. No fault codes.

Any ideas as what to troubleshoot?

Get the battery load tested. A new battery helped my V6 fire up quicker.

Or dirty injectors. Try some injector cleaner.
