Hard Start on a Frontier

Hey Tuners,

I've got a small problem with my Nissan Frontier. I have the 4x2 YD25 engine, the 4x4 look alike.

For the 1st start in the morning I switch to ON and stay there for about 15 seconds before starting.
Is this lenght of time normal, because I've been told that i should be able to start right away, with no trouble. However if i do that, it takes about 4 tumbles before starting.

I have a new maintainence free rocket battery only 4 months old, so i'm sure its not the battery.

Anyone has any ideas, or advice?

Check the glow-plugs and see if they're burnt out.
How many miles on the engine now?
