1990 Olds Custom Cruiser

Hi All:
This week, it has taken me more pumps of the gas pedal in the mornings to get the engine to turn over, about 2-3 attempts. Never had this problem in the past - usually 2 pumps and it would start right up. Also, the engine is not idling fast initially as it used to, it is on a slow idle right when I start it.

Any idea what may be the problem? Starter perhaps?

Thanks!!

Pumps?, this is a fuel injected engine no? What do we have here?

Sure, takr the air cleaner off and look at the choke make sure it closed when cold and pops open slightly just after starting.
