I have a question as to wether a certain condition is a "problem" or just part of having a 4Runner.

On a completly cold start my Runner takes a good bit of cranking to start. Not so much that you would think there is some big problem, but long enough that is seems out of spec. I would say 3-5 seconds will crank it. However, when it is warm you only need to turn the key for a fraction of a second to get it started. Is this a normal condition?

A few noteworty items, the battery is less than six months old, new starter contacts in last 4 months, and it has never posted a code. Once started it runs great and gets 17-18 mpg with combined driving.

Any ideas? Thanks.
