yes, mine too. I believe the ECM controls the slow start. Normal

My 91 sometime starts the exact moment you turn the key. All depends where compression is at. My Z is modded with cams as well.

Probably not a factor for you but a weaker battery will also cause longer cranking.

3 seconds is perfect for both my 90' and 91'.......Now if I could get that quick start for my 1986 Silverado

Brett...what the hay is The ever-popular Ash Tray Relocation to Center Console for Car Wash Quarters mod

Is this another modification I should partake in

That was a well thought out modification to a repeatable issue....quarters kept falling all over my inner console area. Needed something to put them in. The rubber liner thingy is now in the console I like to think I'm a trend setter.
