Yes. I believe some of that time is used to fire the plugs rapidly
to clean them in the DI equipped cars but I'm not certain of that.
Either way, it's not unusual. Mine also tends to crank longer when
the gas tank is lower. (No, I don't know why, but it's very
predictable).
One thing you might want to do just to be sure it's not the fuel
pump wearing out is to turn the care to the "on" position, but
don't go all the way to "start". Wait a minute, then start it.
Try this a few times when it's dead cold. If letting it sit in
the on position improves starting then your fuel pump is wearing.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> |

This is exactly what I am experiencing now.
Two questions:
1) How much time do I have until failure (in miles or "starts")?
2) How much does it cost to replace (Northeast PA)?
Thanks

My 1993 9000 2.0 LPT starts from cold exactly the same way every time:
4 grunts and the engine kicks into life. However, it's more difficult
to start when the engine is warm e.g. after stalling in traffic.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Start Up Question |

This is exactly what I am experiencing now. ('86 900 hatch)
Two questions:
1) How much time do I have until failure (in miles or "starts")
and does it fail slowly or suddenly?
2) How much does it cost to replace (Northeast PA)?
Thanks

LOL, u dont get to predict it, it just stops dead one day (and when its
happened to me its always in the middle of a busy junction in rush hour),
but if u think its failing start looking for a 2nd hand one cos they r hard
to find and fairly expensive from main agent
