Does it have an extended crank ONLY when cold, when hot, etc?

Devil is in the details.

The fuel gauge issue is probably not related to your extended crank time....

could also be the ecu since the gauge is on a different circuit then the pump.
my zj does that now for the guy who got it from me.

and if i shut it down it will fire right up...it's like it's loosing prime anything over like 10mins and it takes a few tries... the guage will work if i cycle the key but thats very seldom that messes up
