long cranking after replacing injector

I just replaced the #1 injector and now It has a long cranking time before it fires up. Never did this before replacing the injector always fired up quickly. But once its started it runs great. Reguardless if the engine hot or cold it still has a 4-5 second crank before firing any ideas? Could I have ruined something while replacing the injector. I'm hoping its just air in the system or something.

Probably just air in the system. It's normal to have a long crank for several start ups most of the time you pull an injector.

It usually takes a few miles. At least 50 mi of hard driving to push the air out.
