Before a week ago it started up flawlessly when I turned the key, now there is a delay, I have to hold the key for a second or two more. What could the problem be?

Gas is fine, I have to put premium in it and its from a couple different stations. how much is a fuel filter parts and or labor, ballpark figure?

Plugs, wires and serpentine belt are probaby due for a change too. That was the first thinkg I did to my 99 Ranger when I bought it, and knock on wood, no problems so far! 2000 SVT Contour - Silver # 1675/2150 For Sale195/55/15 Bridgestone Blizzaks on Steelies <10k miles - $300 PM me for more info
