My problem: long starts in to crank engine

This started occuring the second day after i installed my new cap/rotor/ngk copper plugs/ and wires. Im pretty sure i did the install right with 20lbs of torque on each plug.
I put the wires back on the distributor in correct order starting from bottom left to bottom right to top left to top right order.

After i finished my install two days ago, the engine turned on instantly and everything was smooth and running fine.

So now my engine takes a while to crank. I can't figure out the problem; i checked the plugs with correct torque specs. ANY help would be much appreciated thanks all.

The same **** happened to me, but I just played it off as cold weather... Now that I think about it it was right after cap/rotor/plugs/wires... Do you let the motor prime fully before you start it or just crank right away...?

 

Right after I installed brand new cap, rotor, plugs, and wires, the crank time was quicker to start the motor for me. But when the temperature gets below freezing, it takes a little longer. It COULD be the colder weather.

 

i garage it...But such a disspointment from the first crank that started instantaneously to the crank that sounds like ****.

 

its cold weather bro, my teg takes 3 cranks on very cold mornings

 

really? The long cranks only started happening after the new parts. It should only get better with copper plugs due to a better conductive metal? Plus the new cap/rotor

 

are they colder plugs than the stock plugs?

 

Are your spark plugs gapped to the right specs?

 

well the company told me it was already pre-gapped. But im going to check it out over the weekend to make sure and see if there is a change.

 

I've found that if I let my car prime fully and allow the CEL to go off before I start to crank my car, it will take several cranks to "catch" and actually start... However, if I try to crank immediately after turning the key "on" it will start with no hesistation, within a crank or two...
