I went to start the KJ at lunch today, and after cranking for a few seconds I let go, kinda puzzled it was taking so long, so I tried again, this time it took about 7-8 seconds of cranking to start.. Once started it ran fine, and I was on my way thinking it was a fluke.
After leaving work (about 4 hours of sitting) it again took 7-8 seconds to crank.. Drove home fine (only about 5 mile trip) although the idle did seem to move around a little more then usual, but not horribly.
After I got home, I let it sit for 10 minutes, and it started right up (when the engine is warm)
A little background if it could have relation. Yesterday I worked clear my P0456 that has been on for a few months, I found a evap line off the purge solenoid had rubbed a hole in it. I simply cut the hard plastic and ran 7/16" rubber fuel line. Started right up every time and ran fine all day yesterday and this morning.
First check was to look at the electrical connections, evap and vacuum lines for obvious problems in the area I was working. I did not see anything obvious but still disconnected and reconnected most of these items.
Any ideas?
