Hey guys, lately the truck has been taking a little bit longer to start than usual. I used to be able to turn the key and it'd instantly fire up...lately it takes a good 2-3 second of key turn to achieve this. Would clogged injectors cause this? Ive replaced the gas tank and fuel pump and was working on getting the injectors cleaned and reflowed because recently the trunk feels low on power. Im running techron cleaner with premium fuel to clean at the moment and AUTORX in the motor to clean this. Let me know. 130k on the truck
 






I had a similar issue and it seemed to be moisture in the fuel. A bottle of Heet solved the problem for me.
