I do experience hard starting with my car. Some times i'll have to crank about two to three times before the engine starts which is not the case when i bought the car some three years back. Thanx Sir!

It sounds like your starter motor is on its way out. I just actually worked on a vehicle yesterday where I was having the same situation and I replaced the starter and it worked. I would remove the starter and have it bench tested.
