Hard/long start

Hi,

There is no timing adjustment. The timing signal is furnished by the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor signal. The PCM controls the ignition timing.

I have to be honest, what you described doesn't sound like a timing issue but rather a fuel pressure issue. Do me a favor. Try this and let me know if there is any difference when starting.

1) Turn the key to the run position (engine off) and count to 5.
2) Turn the key off and then repeat step 1 three times.
3) On the forth time, start the engine.

Let me know if it starts easier for you.

Joe
