Engine takes several cranks to start

I think so or maybe between trim levels?
i have a XLT and some little higher end stuff in it like leather and Audiophile system.

But yea i can pretty much just tap and let go and it finishes starting just like push button start.

I just finished cleaning the Mass Air Flow sensor and the throttle body intake. I removed the large flapper (whatever its called) and cleaned the plastic thing with the little fins between the flapper and the intake. Please excuse the lack of terms. Upon turning the key it cranked much quicker than before. I can see a big difference in cranking so next i'll see if the gas mileage has changed. It was in the dumps as well.
