Default Long Start

My '95 Z takes longer to start than it did before. I remember reading an article, although not about Zs, that long starts were a problem with the fuel pressure leaking down.

I'm not familiar with the new engines, can someone confirm/explain this? And what would be the fix?

Or what could be the problem/fix.

Thanks
CJ

It also takes two revolutions for the cam and crank sensor to synch up so spark isn't really happening until the Ignition Module confirms #1 position.

Thanks for quick replies. My car has 30000 miles and has had no engine work/tune up. Once it starts, it's OK. Just wondering if the long start could be fuel leak down as I remember reading and something I could check with the help of the forum.
