Weird starting issue
New symptom.
It hasn't had the weird slow start in the last couple days but, last night while leaving work it took a lot longer to start that usual. I would say normal is 2 seconds or so. It's now cranking a lot longer than normal. Started fine. This morning but when I filled it up to get gas it took a long time to start again. I would say it's cranking 5 to 7 seconds. Not sure if this is even connected to the first problem but it seems like my starting is getting a lot longer

Can you read if you have some pending codes? I thinking your crank shaft position sensor is on its way out.
My truck takes less than 1 second to fire it right up.

Filled up with gas at a different station and she has been starting normal.
Fuel filter has less than 5,000 miles on it. I changed it before I found a leaking injector last year.
All seems normal now.
I did find out both of my parents filled up at the same station I did and my dads Subaru threw a check engine code and my moms Mazda had the same long start problem. I'm hoping they are all connected and we got bad gas!

We are hoping it's the gas! Only time will tell.
I have a full week ahead of me driving around 20 miles a day with some starting and stopping. Hopefully that's the cause!

Back to square one.
Truck did the weird binding motor start again today. Took 5 tries to finally start. This has got me so lost.
Looking at new trucks just to see what's out there
