Default 08 caravan hard start sometimes

ok, got a 08 grand caravan, owned since new.. and we just recently started noticing it is hard to start sometimes. by hard to start i mean it takes maybe 3-4secs worth of cranking before it fires up, compared to its normal time of instantly firing up when you turn the key over.. it has the 3.3 motor and we have about 90k miles on it. we do alot of hwy running with it. we keep up with oil changes and evrything and havent had any issues with the van. just worried this hard start issue may become worse over time and leave me stranded. no check engine lights or anything and it runs fine when started. ive noticed it will do this cold or warm start, but not all the time. maybe 1 out of 5 cranks maybe.. any help would be great! thanks!
