Long crank before start

Long crank before start
My 2006 Volvo XC 90 often has a long crank before it starts. My mechanic and I are somewhat baffled. I have authorized a new battery, crankshaft sensor replaced, throttlebody cleaned (seven months ago), mass air flow sensor replaced, vacuum leak fixed, new intake hose, new air filter, and new spark plugs…all of these things within the last year.
I decided to go to a different mechanic and he says the throttlebody needs to be replaced. I went back to my old mechanic to get the engine coolant temperature sensor replaced and asked if the throttlebody would be the culprit of this long crank to start and my old mechanic said no… In fact he said your throttlebody would have nothing to do with the problem.
I don’t officially know who else to turn to in referencing this problem and getting it fixed or what exactly the problem could be. Could it be the fuel pump? Fuel filter? Or should I spend the $1300 to get the throttlebody replaced? I need some direction that’s not going to cost me an arm and a leg.
seeking help ASAP!
