Hello,

Does the vehicle 'click' when the turn the key?
Slow starting is a symptom of a weakening starter.
You might have an issue with the starter.
Over time the internals of a starter will wear off and sometimes it will quit working all of a sudden other times it will have slow crank until it will just stop working.

The starter is located on the lower right hand side of the engine.

I have attached the starter diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
