Long crank times

So I have noticed now that it is winter and cold out my 2005 8 is now cranking a bit longer then when it was warm out. Everything else seems to be working fine, no noticable loss of power or anything like that.

Is this indicative of any problems? Any mataince I should perform?


I really just want to nip any problems in the bud.

Thank you for any responses.

Could be a couple of things... weak starter, dirty maf, carbon build up, low compression, weak ignition... the list goes on...

Here is my experience....
