My tuck has a hard time starting?

Question

my 2002 ford ranger edge pickup 6cyl gives me trouble cranking sometimes it seems like it's not getting fuel until i try to start it two or more times after it starts it starts up fine i received a letter the other day from my dealer telling me that it was time to have the fuel filter changed do think this is my problem or something else

Answer 1

Could be, could be a leak in the fuel system letting the pressure go down when it sits. Could be fuel pump. Also has it had a tune up?
