Default wagoneer fix?

I own a 98 cherokee sport, my father inlaw own's a 89 wagoneer. He's jealous of my jeep starting on 1/4 turn when his crank's over 3, 4, 5 times before it starts. Has anyone ever looked in to this? Is there a fix for this or is this just wishfull thinking, thank's in advance!

My 89' Cherokee has always required to crank 3-4 times.

I was told that it was a renix thing..

My 87 took 4-5 cranks before it would start.

I believe on the older XJs the computer actually needs so see a certain RPM from the engine before it will start. I've heard a couple people say this. It makes sense because my '90 always took a few seconds to start, but it started exactly the same no matter if it was -10 or 95 degrees out, hot or cold start.
