poor starting

More problems, sigh. Lately when I go to turn the car on it takes a sec or 2 to catch on and start. Today after the car's been sitting outside in 60+ degree weather for 7 hours, it simply turned over and didnt do anything. I turned the headlights on to get the battery going and tried again. This time it did the usual sec or 2, slow start. Whats going on? Plugs?

Ive had starting problems lately on my 98 maxima too.It frist started cranking slow and kinda dieing when I cranked it to start,it did this for a few days.Now today it wont start at all, it cranks like regular but it wont start?Could it be the fuel filter or something else.sorry if I jumped on some one elses tread but this starting problem seems to be an occurring problem lately on maximas.

I got just under 180K. No idea whats been changed because I've only had her for the last 3k or so. I'll check the fuses and plugs.
