why does my car crank for a long time before it fires up, if I drive the car and then turn it off for about 15-20 mins it will fire up right away, any longer then that it cranks for a long time also in the morning for the first time it will fire up rather quickly. I changed fuel filter last year and I just got fuel injectors flushed today, the shop used some Snap On product and the hooked up this machine to my fuel line and ran it like for 15 min and then started the car and ran it for 30 min. The car runs smoother but it didn't fix my problem. Sorry guys for a long post, but this is driving me crazy.

 

how much for a new fuel pump and how hard is it to install.

 

Wow I had that exact problem on my old 3rd gen. No one could ever figure out what it was

 

My car also seems to take longer to start up than it used to.

But if I turn the key on and wait 10-15 seconds it usually starts with less cranking.

I've checked my fuel pressure within the last month and it was fine, so I wonder if I should still suspect the pump or something else.
