okay my VL has been doing this for some months now; When I turn the key, it takes 2-4 seconds for the car to actually start. 2-4 seconds may not sound alot, but when you actually sit there for that long just cranking then engine, thats a very long time. Has something been really worn out? Starter motor? Distributor? Sparks, leads, distributor rotor arm and cap have been changed, and the fuel pump is one year old. I got a new crank angle sensor but not installed yet (not really keen on taking the dizzy out and adjusting things later), but dunno if that would help. I just want to turn the key and...bang, she starts instantly! thanks
