...ok, now comparing the two, they are about the same. Maybe this is all in my head?!

That's four rotations; It hit when it got a cam position trigger.
That's totally normal.

I always have to prime my car two seconds before starting, but I noticed Friday on both starts it still had a long crank time even with the priming. The only difference is the tank was lower than I normally keep it, just above 1/4 tank, or 5-6 gallons. Still not really low.

Is that low enough to affect crank times? I wouldn't think it would be, but after adding gas, it hasn't done it since. Maybe it's because the tank is divided?

@T6Rocket , I at some point attempted to draw a correlation between fuel level and crank time, but then I saw nothing but "exceptions".
