Car Start-age

So I decided I'm tired of people watching me start up my car. I put in the key, turn, and it cranks forever, then after about literally one minute [timed this morning] it fires. What do I need to do to make it fire on the spot?

Random Tidbit: I'm turning 18 in 2 days. Wewt! Go me.

Re: Car Start-age

Uh...I dunno if my battery is even strong enough to crank my bitch for 1 minute. r u getting fuel to it right away? When I let the tank get really low (like the needle on or below "E", it takes about 10 seconds for the fuel pump to suck fuel up from the tank, as opposed to about 3 cranks when I have fuel. I don't know any real good way to test this, other than to spray fuel all over yourself while someone cranks it for you.

Yeah it gets fuel, last night my shirt got some too! I tried that, and my little brother thought it to be funny to keep cranking it. I was soaked...thank god he didn't have and matches from July 4th.
