So my 4cyl honda will start in about 1-1.5 seconds where as my tbi converted 78 chevy k20 and my dads stock 88 k2500 will take 4-5 seconds of cranking to start when cold. Is it something with these tbi systems that causes long cold starts. It seems to me that if the vehicle was cold and low on battery you could be sol because the battery just wont have enough in it to crank the motor long enough. How long does it take your TBI powered vehicle to start?
