Default jeep start?!?!?!

So every time i try to start my jeep it takes 2 turns of the key to start it except when i just turn it off then start it again. But it dose start just a little off a downer when u have friends in the car and that keep making fun of me because of it.

Do u know what could be wrong?

Make sure you don't have a fuel leak before you replace the pump. It would be a bummer if you replaced the pump and ended up having a leak somewhere. You can lose just enough vacuum to make it do this with a small leak. Good luck.
