Default 05 Civic EX start problems

My Civic doesn't start like it use to, sometimes you must turn the key three to four times before it fires, mostly twice.

Its only got 25k, just wondering if these have a fuel filter that needs changing.
I probably need to go to the dealer, just trying to do the obvious, I'm going to shoot some injector cleaner, maybe try some hi octane gas for one tank.

Default RE: 05 Civic EX start problems

Is the Check Engine Light ON?

After the engine starts does it run fine?

Remove the spark plugs and check whether they are fouled. If fouled, consider replacing both plugs and wires with OEM parts. Also remove the distributor cap and inspect the rotor and cap contacts for corrosion and wear. Replace if necessary.
