Car turning over slow.

Hey, probly a dumb question but im not all to mechanically inclined. It turns over for about 3 seconds and sounds like its trying to start before it does. Friend said it might be the fuel injectors? Any thoughts? '04 Manual.

Start by testing your battery. How old are your coils and plugs? Try searching man. This has been talked about many times.

I recently purchased the car, so I'm going to ask the previous owner about the coils, plugs, and I'll find out about the starter.
