Quick question for you - my car sometimes hesitates before starting. It seems to crank strong, but sometimes there is a hesitation of several engine rotations before it fires. It has had to crank for up to 5 seconds before starting. The problem seems intermittent and appears to be independant to whether the car is cold or warmed up. I can start and turn off the car repeatedly and the problem sometime surfaces, and sometimes doesn't.
Otherwise it runs great! Any suggestions?

Check the coolant temperature sensor.
