Turn the key to "on" several times, rapidly. See if it starts faster after doing that.
This is exactly what it sounds like. Sounds like its not holding enough pressure.

Re: Car taking longer to start

Should I get a 140LPH or 255LPH pump? The car is stock so I'm not sure if the 255 will make any difference.Thanks
