Don't spend money where it isn't needed. If the fuel pump still works fine don't throw money at it. Now on the slow starting that could be a few things. It could be the alt isn't charging like it used to and leaving the battery low or the battery could be going south. Best bet is to go to a parts store they all do free checks and you will know for sure if its the batt or alt.

Shouldnt be a problem yeah its a bit slow charging but still should put out enough power for that. You should just have it checked with there tester at autozone,advanced, whoever else there is.
