I got a 96 Jeep Cheroke 4.0L laterly in the morning it got to crank
little longer than normal to start, so I just want to know is that the
fuel (drain back to the tank?) or fuel pump or fuel regulater, or one
of the sensor (Crank, cam) where do I start? TIA ... PN
P.S I already replace the fuel filter

I find pulling the plugs on the throttle body and giving them a clean
with a spray contact cleaner, then putting a bit of dielectric grease on
the plug seal skirt does them wonders.  The CPS connections on the
distributor and the one at the rear of the manifold also benefit from
the spray and grease job.  Ours always speed up starting a little after
doing this.

If you think it is a fuel bleeding off, then you can turn the key to run
twice before trying to start it.  This will pressurize the line back up.
