trouble starting after maintenance

Lately, when the car has been sitting for a while, the car sounds like it's choking when it's starting. It always starts up, but it hesitates at first. It started after soon after I used sea foam and changed my fuel filter. Just curious if anyone else has ever experienced this.

that's strange...

i changed my plugs and my car starts up really quick. same with pcv valve. then came the fuel filter and a little bit longer.

i never have to wait more than 2 crank sounds before the car starts up, 3-4 with the old sparkies.
