Cranks forever

My wifes Expedition is an 03'. I ran the AE on it and discovered a misfire on the #1 coil (which I have since changed). The biggest issue that I have is that it takes forever for the truck to fire up in the morning or after sitting a while. Literally you have to crank it for a good 20 to 30 seconds before it starts. Way to long in my books. I have checked and replaced the elbow behind intake. The only other thing I can think it to be would be low fuel pressure, which would elude me to a bad fuel pump. Any suggestions.

Andy

Others that have reported these same symptoms ended up replacing their fuel pump to fix the problem.

You guessed it, so don't just assume it's bad, do a fuel pressure test on it.

I will have to take a look a my manual, but what kind of pressure are we looking for?
