Hi,
An extended crank before starting is usually the result of one of two things, fuel pressure drop off or worn spark plugs. I need you to try something. Follow this simple test when starting.
1) Turn the key from off to the run position (engine off) and count to 5.
2) Turn the key off and repeat step 1, three more times.
3) On the last time, see if it starts quickly.
Let me know the results of that. Or, here is a link that explains how to test fuel pump pressure and pressure drop off:

Now for the 4,000 RPM's and the speedometer just starting to move sounds like the transmission is slipping. Is the transmission fluid clean and full?
Let us know.
