Take the battery in to autozone and have it checked. It may be on its way out. If you pull it out and notice it bulging or leaking, then you can skip the testing step.

If the car is turning over real slow when you try to start it or it doesnt tun over at all(you will hear a clicking noise) then the battery would be suspect.
If its turning over fine but not starting for a long time I would say the plug need tobe changed.

it could be an injector and/or regulator related problem if your smelling a lot of fuel. i know gm has had a few problems with them leaking and causing a long crank issue.
