Default slow start on my 99 jeep cherokee 4x4

when i start my jeep it take a a little while to finally start. i've replaced starter a yr ago and i've have alternator and starter coil replaced this year. it had a error at one time this year for injector #1 misfire had it replaced too and it has not came back as a misfire anymore. I've replaced the fuel pump and fuel filters in the gas tank also. and no luck on getting this fixed tired of fixing stuff. would like some help on maybe what it could be rather then taking it somewhere.

sounds like the starter is trying to start it but just takes a long time for the engine to catch

Try this:
Turn key to ON. Wait 5 seconds.
Turn key OFF.
Repeat twice more.
Try starting.

That primes your fuel rail by running the fuel pump a couple of times. If that helps, your check valve is going bad or you have a leaky injector.
