I have spent hours trying to find another thread describing the issue I have with the new-to-me '99 XJ.
Cold or warm, when I try to start the engine, it just cranks and cranks. After 10-12 cranks it will fire, and run fine. Now, if I let it crank 2-3 times, back off into the "run" position, and immediately try again, she fires up on the 2-3 crank.
I always allow the fuel pump to prime the system (other DD is a KJ CRD, so I am used to a bit of wait) and this does nothing.
any ideas?
