When I turn the key to the ignition, the car has trouble turning over. It takes a few seconds (sometimes up to 4 or 5) until the engines turns over and actually starts. In those seconds it sounds as if the car is trying to start (it has a winding up sound) but fails to catch on and actually follow through. The car is stock save for the fact that the previous owner attached some small speakers to the battery which is located in the trunk. Could this be part of the problem?

So the winding up sound where is that comming from? That car has a clutch switch that might not be adjusted right or the rubber grommet is about to fail all the way. Look up on the pedal lever and near the engine wall inside drivers floor board for the switch and the rubber grommet that pushes the switch. Ingnition switches wear out the electrical part is seperate If the start signal is not present the engine will turn over and take longer to start up. Start signal fuse in the in car fues box good? You can use a test light bulb to check for start signal while cranking at that fuse too. I have replaced lots of ingnition electrical switches lately in 1993 to 1996 cars not to expensive easy to change.

Honestly, with the info provided it could be any of about 16 problems that come to mind. The speakers could only effect your car in that way if they are causing a drain on the battery (if there is a short in the wiring somewhere between the battery and the speakers). It could be the timing, the starter, the distributor, etc. the best thing to do, if you want to do thew work yourself, would be to find a shop that can give you a diagnostic check for cheap and ask the mechanic, not the owner, what they would recommend you do. That way you at least have somewhere to start.

Maybe, your fuel injectors arent getting any fuel. We had that problem with the SR20 swap.
