A few weeks ago I noticed that the XJ takes a few seconds to finally start - especially first thing in the morning or if it's been sitting for several hours (at work, etc). If I just run into a store for a few minutes, get gas, etc, it will start up instantly.
Now, I use to have a '91 and it was common for the fuel pressure check valve to fail, so I did the BMW part fix and that helped immensely!! Are the later models prone to this too? Is it also internal to the fuel pump like the early models? Or is it possible that it could be my starter going out? (and if so, why does it start faster when warm?)
Appreciate any tips or advice.
