Starting problems

I have a 2000 Stratus with 106,000 miles on it and 2.4L engine. I always do tune ups on time. Lately it takes about 4-5 cranks before it starts. Usually when the engine is cool. Once it starts i have no problems with it at all. The check engine light has not come on. I recently replaced the spark plugs and wires because i thought that would help but it didn't. Please help me! Can it be the coil or fuel pump?

Welcome to 2carpros

You might want to perform a fuel pressure check to determine the operation of the fuel system.

Furthermore inspect and test the coolant temperature sensor this is the one that tells the computer the engine is cold and it needs fuel enrichment.
