Default Long Crank Time Before Engine Starts

Have a 90 Crx Si with b16a swap, seems like the engine cranks along time before it starts, I have a new battery, recently tune, new plugs, cap and rotor, pcv valve,air filter, fuel filter, injectors flushed, throttle body cleaned, injectors flushed.

When it does start after a few cranks, rev kinda high. I think i might try cleaning out my EACV this weekend with some air intake cleaner.

Any other tips would be appreicated.

Thanks

The main relay is new. Replaced it this summer. I swapped the ignition coil and ignitor from another car as well. Maybe crank angle sensor??
NO check engine light on, no codes stored.

Start right away when warm usually.

same with my car, i think thats normal with b-series hondas or all??
but yea, in the morning starting takes quite a while and the revs are high, about 1500rpms and drops as it warms...but when its warm the engine will fire up right away and rpms are about 1000 and less. i've had two LS motors in my teg...looks pretty normal to me i guess.
