So i tried doing a search but i am on my cell phone and it isn't the best. So when i turn it over (everytime) it take a few seconds before it fires over. Any ideas on what causes this.

Next time you go to start the Jeep, turn the key on but don't start it. Do it a couple of more times. Now see if it starts quicker. If it does your fuel pump/regulator are getting weak and not holding pressure when the Jeep is shut down.

I hope that's not it. I just put in a new fuel pump. But i will try and let you know.

I tried it 3 times the started it. Same problem then i tried it 5 times then started it. Same problem

How about the basics? Spark plugs, plug wires, dist cap, dirty injectors?

Has it always taken a few seconds to fire or just start doing it recently?

Since i got it a few moths ago. Upgraded all but injectors i guess i will do that when i get the cash.

I'd try some fuel injector cleaner or seafoam in the fuel tank and see what that does until you upgrade your injectors. Have you replaced the fuel filter? (I forgot it's not part of the fuel pump like mine is)

Come to think of it I haven't i should do that thanks for reminding me. I will do that asap and the injectors cleaner until i can do the injectors

I have the same problem. Ever since the day I got it it has always been a slow starter. I also did the poor mans prime and nothing...

New starter? If not, try taking it apart and cleaning it.
