Ignition/Start Up Issue

Before I start, I moved from Florida to Colorado (didn't drive the brz). Mentioning this in case this problem is due to Hard cold starts and/or the 5w 30 motul I'm on.

In the last 2 weeks or so, I have encountered two issues on start up.

-About 5-7 times in those weeks, when starting the car, The RPM needle went straight to the engine's actual RPM. What I mean by this is that it did not touch the MAX RPM, come back down to 0, and then go to the Engine's actual RPM (normally what it does)

- The other issue only happened once. In startup it seemed the engine almost didn't start. It started just fine on the first try but there was a delay in the end. On ignition it the RPM needle went all the way up and almost down to 0 before the engine BARELY started.

Could this be Spark Plugs? Starter?

After these issues the engine still turns on just fine and it still runs good. Not a permanent issue but I don't want to let it get there.
