Slow starting 5kT,

[Eyvind Spangen]

My '87 5kT takes some time to start when it has been sitting for more
than 10 minutes. I've measured all the CIS pressures according to the
Bentley, everything is fine, so I guess that rules out the injectors
or the check valve - or maybe not?

It will always start, but it'll take 4-5 seconds cranking, and then
sputter and cough a few seconds before it stabilizes. When warm, it
needs the same cranking time, but it won't cough.. I tried jumpering
the fuel pump relay to "prime" a few seconds before I started it, but
no difference. Outside temperature doesn't matter at all. Fault codes
checked - 4444.

Any good tips? It eventually drains the battery, and it's kinda
embarassing having to crank the car that long before it catches..
