intake hose

I never bothered to check my intake tube because my car was running fine. I finally decided to check it just for the hell of it (I heard about the tube cracks about a year ago) and found two huge cracks going halfway around the tube. I taped it up for now while I order a new one. After taping...

Whenever i start the car with the engine warm it takes about 5-8 seconds to start the car. cold starts only take a second. why is that? i havent cleaned the egr yet and my intake hose has many cracks and air filter needs replacing. could this be the problem. could it be the starter?
