2018 gasser difficult starting.

No special scenario when it happens
It may do it sitting over night. Sitting 1/2 a day or a couple hours. Or not But it appears to be increasing in frequency
I’ll turn the key and it may take 2-4 seconds to start.

regular maintenance 76k miles.
Original plugs


I’m sure it can be numerous things I’d like to hear possibility’s

thanks

Just a guess but certainly would be thinking about the fuel pump.
