Fast starting question ?!?!?

ok, so far i changed the battery and alternator, and starter
the thing is that when i crank the car, it may take it like 4/5 cranks to start. before i changed the 3 items, the car never would start untill like 15 mins of cranking >.<
sometimes the car cranks without any problems and i think its in the cold weather even! im not sure tho, what could be the problem with this? after the car starts theres no problems at all tho, and no code for any starting problem

also try pulling the crank sensor on the front of the motor where the bell housing meets the motor and clean off all the metal shavings stuck to the magnet.

you mean the starter motor? Where is the front of the motor you're referring to? I'm confused.

not the starter, but the crank SENSOR, it's on the radiator side of engine.
