KIA Carens starting problem

My KIA Carens has been difficult to start. It usually takes at least 10 seconds when cold and around eight seconds when hot. Had a new battery and fuel filter fitted, but the problem persists. Any idea what the fault could be?

The most likely reason is an airleak into the fuel system.
