Battery cranking problem?
I have come across a lot of cars that seem like they have trouble turning over at first...but then go. Is this due to the battery not being powerful enough?

Extended crank? Slow crank? Describe. Some cars just "chug" a few times before starting, it's just how the ignition is.

It turns over....but does it very slowly..then starts. Seems like a loss of power.

Mine does this. Changed the alternator and battery when i first got the car and it didnt help. Have learned to ignore it

It can be ignition related, when was the last time the plugs/wires were changed?

Check that the ground wires are clean and tight; there's a ground wire on the block close to the starter.
