2004 Intrepid 2.7 - Long crank time

OK, I tried that. They couldn't figure it out either. But they did give me a
fortune cookie that said "the last guy that responded to me was very smart
man. He brings all his planes here too".

Take it to a garage and have them put a scope on the crank sensor (or
put one on yourself ) I'll bet that the output is weak.

Hmm - we were just talking about this. Possibly a fuel system leak down
(bad check valve or leaking injector, or bad engine temperature sensor.

OK on my GM the fuel pump has 2 power sources, one is the oil
pressure switch, the second is a relay that is engerized for only 30
seconds or so whiile the oil pressure is building. if the oil drops
out it saves the engine by shutting down the fuel pump. the relay
is there for , if there is a fuel leak down it will power the pump
once the key is in the run position for only 30 seconds.
