starting problems

Hey guys i have an 08 rx8 with only 14k miles on it and all of a sudden, its taking longer to start it. i have to crank it for like 3sec. i saw some posts here saying it might be spark plugs or wires or coil going bad but they said they usually go bad around 25k so im just wondering if those can go bad on 14k miles. im also looking to get the starter checked.btw battery is fine. i will appreciate any feed back thank you.

Yes, plugs wires and coils can go bad before 25k miles.
Test each part, and replace the ones that need to be replaced.

No where does it say when plugs/coils go bad. It is recommended that they be changed around the 25k mile mark.
The easiest way to make sure is to test them. Check the DIY sub-forum for those.

How do you know the battery is fine?
