Default Trouble starting cold car

Car has always required a few seconds to turn over when car is cold. (Starts right up when warm or hot.)

Yesterday, I cranked it for a good 5 secs, and it wouldn't ignite. Car had sat for 3 days. Sounded strong, just wouldn't turn on. Took 2 or 3 times with the key to get it working. Again, once warmed up, it was fine.

Could this be the battery? I seem to recall a similar issue with Pathfinder, and it turned out to be a battery.

Thoughts?

might be a fuel pressure problem...next time turn on the key but don't engage the starter for a few seconds for the fuel pump to build pressure...then hit it and see if it starts right up...if so, could be leaky injector or fuel pump...
