I doubt that will really help with you starting issue.

Maybe it will but your CPS (crankshaft position sensor) monitors how fast your fly wheel turn and once it reaches 300rpm (I believe its 300). It then allows your injectors to fire there for starting your motor. If you CPS is going out then it will take longer to relay the signal and fire your motor. Clean the CPS connector or replace it all together and I assure you. You will have better starting time.

Stryker Out!
