Default 99 Durango long start when cold

I have a 99 Durango 4x4, 5.9L that when cold takes a bit to start. I recently had a battery go bad and replaced that, I also have replaced the spark plug wires, plugs. When its warm it starts right away I was just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if it was normal.

Thanks.

try this, turn the key to on and wait until you hear the fuel pump finish priming (10 seconds or so, but you should be able to hear it) then turn the key, see if that helps the problem, if so you have a bad anti-drainback valve in the fuel pump

Also, what exact parts did you use in the tune up?


Have you cleaned the TB yet?

+1 HS.

Did you get those great Bosch plugs on your tuneup?

What,


It's a good question on the 5.9L?
