Ok... so my XJ seems a bit hesitant to start. It starts more like its carb'd rather than FI.. The fuel pump is making noise and the owner says it done that for 3-4 yrs with no problems.. I dont know if the pump is causing the hard starting or not. Once its running the engine runs smooth. What do you think guys?

if it is renix generation you have to remember that even when eerything is perfect they still won't fire till it reaches 300 rpm. takes a little bit longer to start, but ive got two well into the 200k mark and one getting close to 300k.
My 89 Limited runs the same way. I've got to crank on it for 5 sec, before it will catch. I've noticed that if I leave the key turned on for 5 sec. before cranking, it seems to start quicker.....
I left the key on until the Check Engine light went out and it did not make a difference. It only takes about 3 sec to start and that maybe the nature of the beast as this is my first XJ, but my 87 GMC pickup started quicker. My 82 Chevy pickup (carb) didnt take too much longer than the XJ to start. I may try replacing the fuel pump, atleast it will get rid of the noise if nothing else.
