Re: Long cranking
yes, mine too. I believe the ECM controls the slow start. Normal

Re: Long cranking
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.

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

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.
