When I first go to start the car in the morning, it takes like 7 seconds to crank. Priming the fuel pump does not make a difference. When the car is warm it starts like a normal car.
If it won't cause a long term problem, like burn out the starter it really wont bother me, but if it does I'd rather fix it.
Thanks guys
Joe

If you can, I would still put a gauge on the Schrader valve and note the pressure while cranking, up until it catches. The pressure could be bleeding off instantly while you cycle the key on and off while priming it a couple times before initially cranking.

Otherwise, I would pull codes and take a looksie at your IAC. A cleaning might help out if you think the pintle is getting stuck.


Good luck Joe.
