Do you mean that the motor turns over slowly?
Or that the motor does not want to stay running?

More than likely it is the battery. Go to any local Autozone or Advance auto etc and have them test the battery.

if it is extremely cold, like below freezing then this is normal, electronics and cold dont mix well, so the extra start up time is normal.
