Engine turns over too long before starting

I have a 98 F150 4x4 with a 5.4L engine. I just put new plugs in it and cleaned the injectors, since the filter element in the fuel filter broke up and clogged the injectors. Now my engine take a while to crank. It cranks on the first time but the engine has to turn over for too long. I have 120000 miles. Is this a starter or a battery? how can you tell. Thanks-

What plugs did you install? Using a exotic like the iridium series causes a long crank.

Check the fuel pressure when starting it. It may be taking a bit to build up.

My friend had the same problem, and it turned out his fuel pump was bad!
