2007 Rx8 start up

Alright, I'm new to this forum and I finally got my Rx8 and I've had 0 problems with it until this morning when it was rather warm out but no more then 70 degrees. I went to turn the car on and it cranked for longer than it normally does and it didn't start as quick as it did. My 2007 has only 35000 miles on it and has never been in any accident. The dealership changed my oil and did all the tests to it and ever since I had it I've babied it. I mean every time I fill up I check the oil and I haven't had to add any oil yet but my Engine Coolant Level comes on every time I drive but the level isn't that low and isn't that hot! Need some assistance to figure out what I need to fix! Thanks!

coolant tank sensors are know to go bad. if you coolant isnt low its likely the issue. take care replacing it or you will be buying a new rad too. do not baby this car. once its warmer do short shift/wait for beep

Thanks 200.mph but I've heard to just remove the sensor from the coolant tank. And what would be the probable cause for my delayed start this morning?? and also its an automatic!

the sensor has nothing to do with a delayed start. how many miles on your ignition? thats likely the starting issue or a weak battery. auto or not redline your car
