I’m going to say this......

As part of our collective and sharing knowledge, shotgunning the problem by replacing a bunch of things at the same time may fix it but not define what was the actual problem from a troubleshooting perspective.

You can still replace all the things you want but do it one part at a time to figure out what’s causing the problem.

There are a bunch of extended crank threads without any solution. My Ex’s 97 Puppy Hauler would start normal in about 2 seconds on the starter. Then on occasion it would take longer. 5 or so. It’s not my problem anymore.

If it was my problem I’d do the IAC first since at times I caught it idling high. And cleaning it would fix it.

Second I’d watch fuel rail pressure to see if a injector was leaking and bleeding off rail pressure.

Third would be fuel filter (in my case it’s only two years old)

Fourth would be fuel pump.

I do not think our fuel pump starts running until it’s put to start. American rigs will run the fuel pump at ignition on for a few seconds and after it detects engine run it will keep it running.
