Every once in a while when I go to start the car, I have to turn it over for almost 10 seconds- maybe longer- to get the car to start.  My battery and starter are good- I'm thinking the fuel system.  The car has 118xxx- my first inclination is to run fuel injector cleaner and change the fuel filter.  Should I go that route, or change ignition coils?  Or could it just be a dirty air filter?  If anybody could tell me which of the three ingredients is likely the culprit I'd appreciate it.

Does it happen when the car has been driven relatively recently (not cold starts)? If so, it's probably the coolant temperature sensor.
