takes a while to start ?

[XJXJ]

It seems to me you're the only one who's made any insults.

No I sold my '90 two months ago. Yes, it was Renix. Yes I know the difference. I have also been around several other Renix era XJs and none of them took 7 seconds to fire up. So I would say you’re either exaggerating, or your XJ has some type of problem.

By crazy I was referring to the amount of time, not to you or your character. May I suggest untwisting your panties?

Yes, I'm wrong about AROUND 7 seconds. In the interest of sharing accurate information I tried it today with a stopwatch and it was about 4 seconds cranking time before Renix fired the ignition/fuel system. Subsequent starts were much quicker and AROUND 1-2 seconds.

I'm sorry for my testy reply and I hope you can understand that to some people "crazy" isn't a kind term. I accept your explanation that it wasn't directed towards anyone in particular and I hope you accept my apology.

Good luck with your XJ and thank you for volunteering your help to others.

I've got a 90 XJ 4.0 and I've had big-block Chevelle's that started faster!
Currently,it's not starting at all due to lack of spark.. But I've already posted that issue...

My 90XJ did the same thing, it got better when I added an extra ground wire.

change your fuel pump I have a 90 xj i recently bought and it took a vey long time to crank i did all the normal tune up stuff still cranked a long time

i changed my fuel pump and its like night and day all it cost me was 65 bucks from a local parts store the only problem i had was getting that damn lock ring back in place but it was fairly easy overall
