Default 1990 200 TQ Starting issues

My car starts perfectly every morning and at my lunch break. When I leave work at 4 it takes about 30-45 seconds of cranking to start. First start is at 5am, second at 11am and I leave at 4pm. Please let me know if you have any idea what could cause this. Thanks, Chris

Thanks I will. You know your stuff, a warning came up today showing an oil temp sign and I had just started my car. Which sensor do you think would be most suspect? Thanks again, Chris

I found the problem today. I had my door closed when turning the ignition and it starts great every time. I guess when I was leaving work I would leave the door open and try to start car. Well the electronics are junk on this car but the performance makes up for it.Thanks again for your help.
