Car Taking longer to start

Ok i'm still battling my stumbling problem. I really thought i was getting somewhere because i used some fuel injector cleaner and some seafoam and my car ran so much better and was actaully not as annoying to drive anymore, i figured i just had dirty injectors, well i guess not because it's it started becoming more noticable and is missing just as bad as it was before now. And now when i go to start my car after it's been sitting a while it has to crank a little longer than usual what could be causing this? and could it be related to my stumbling problem? The battery is good,and just replaced fuel filter.

Check the fuel pressure. Mine was a leaking fuel rail (at the shradder valve) causing a hard start.

My car has 57,XXX miles on it, we bought it from my dad's friend and he said it just got a full tune up not long ago from when we bought it, it had 52 thousand on it when i bought it. I'm going to buy a fuel pressure guage and see what i come up with.
