When I turn the key to on I have to wait a good 5-10 seconds before the wait to start goes off. Also the lift pump sounds kind of sluggish when I turn the key to on. It has been sitting quite a bit with out being driven though could that be a part of the problem?

 

the colder it gets the longer it takes the grid heaters to bring up to temp.....sometimes it takes me a good 30 seconds

whats yer ambient temp runnin?

 

In the morning it will be 30-40 degrees and it's getting to low to mid 60s during the day.

 

Block hasn't fully warmed to the higher temps yet (reads from the IAT/MAP sensor), which is why it still kicks on @ 65.

 

Ahh got it thanks guys

 

Your times are perfectly normal. Congrats its working as intended.

 

Woohoo!! Lucky me!! For now... LOL
