Long crank 2008 SLX
Hi, my Gran Caravan is a second car and rarely driven. I drove it today after sitting for 3 weeks but I had a hard time starting it initially. The starter in this vehicle automatically disengages after the engine starts but it did not start right away. The first crank ran for about 15 second and I turned it off. Didn’t want to wear out the motor. 2nd and 3rd cranks I only let run for 5 or so seconds. Still no start. I decided to push the pedal to the floor and then pump for 4th and 5th attempts but no luck. It finally started on the 6th try and it’s working fine all day. My guess is fuel so I am wondering if there is something I can do before cranking if it sits at the airport for 10 days. Would turning to the on position for 30 seconds before cranking help. I added an injector cleaner today. Thanks for any advice. Jim
