Question Engine taking time to turnover

2004 Pilot with 60k miles. Of late it has been taking time to turn over on the first start. Takes about 4-5 seconds. The second crank is normal. I had battery changed 3 months ago. Weather is not cold. No idiot lights on dash. I am thinking fuel pump or timing belt ... any ideas ?
Thanks

I would bet a dirty injector is sticking and causing a loss of fuel pressure when off.

First, when you start, actually count the seconds, because even one or two can seem like 4 or 5.

Next, try turning on the ignition and waiting a second or two before cranking.

Could be the starter going bad.

Also, check and make sure your cables are in good shape, as well as a good having a good connection with the posts. I had this problem earlier this month. I also had a 3 month old battery.
