How many times does it crank? Maybe I'm just

being paranoid, but it used to be that my '96 CSE would turn over 3 or 4 times before it fired up, even when it was fairly cold out.
Recently it is cranking 5 to 8 times. Still starts and runs fine. Battery voltage seems fine, and cranking speed is normal. Plugs are new as of 3 weeks ago--made no difference in the start-up. The old ones all looked fine even with 15K on them
I've tried turning the ignition to ON to let the fuel pump charge the system, but it still takes the 5 or so turns to get going. My daughter's '95 CS starts on 3 turns, no problem.
I don't know much about the fuel system, so could this be a fuel pressure regulator issue? Or could it be an early DI failure warning?
All thoughts are welcome. TIA.
Noel
