engine start problem
Ok, here's a little history, this problem has been going on since I bought the car(just over 2 years). It only happens when the engine is cold( ie; hasn't been started for at least 4 hours) but if it's warm out then it will start no problem. So, this is the problem; when its cold I have to hold the start button for about 5-10 seconds before anything happens, when it finally works, it either cranks perfectly or power stutters in/out a couple times then cranks perfectly. I've changed the battery twice to see if it was that (one was an odysey to shed some weight), I just got the other one load tested and they told me its like brand new, I've cleaned the terminals, checked the ground and changed the spark plugs and even changed my start button cause I thought it was that, the connections on the starter seem to be fine. The fuel pumps fine, Could it be the starter? Ignition switch? relay? some other electrical problem? I have no idea anymore
and I don't want to start changing everything yet until I got some opinions. Thanks in advance for the help.

I would check the ground, lower rear left side of the block (drivers side) it goes from the block to a body point somewhere under the brake master cylinder area.This is where the main battery power makes its negative connection to power the starter.
It sits next to another ground that runs to the subframe.
