Default Lift pump question??

My 95 does not seem to start nearly as fast as my 90, or my 02. It runs great, it just cranks a couple of seconds before starting, seems like forever. What can I look for, i'm not real familiar with the 2nd gen 12V's, could the LP be going south?? Is there a way to check my fuel pressure without a gauge, like on my VP? Is there anything else I should be looking for? Thank you as always for your info, I appreciate it all!!

I have noticed the cranking speeds up when I bump timing.

yours could be loosing prime and that has to deal with the lines from fuel tank and back

What is your idle speed? Mine would take a couple seconds to fire up unless I hit the throttle just a bit as I was cranking. I realized it was idling around 600 rpm in park with the A/C off. I bumped it up to 750 and that helped a lot. It still starts the fastest when I lightly blip the throttle though.

The blip of the pedal is the key, fired right up! Thank you!

My idle speed is at 600, and the fuel lines are new. Thank you again gentleman, I appreciate it!
