Cold start issue

I believe that my car I just purchased has been through a swap. The problem is that it has to crank for some time before it fires. I even put it in the on position first to let the fuel system pressurize. Is this a swap problem? Has anyone experienced/ fixed this problem? Thanks in advance

Can you tell us more info about the car and symptoms? The more info the better

Hmm after the car is warmed up does it still take a long time to fire?

Fires quicker but only slightly. Another interesting detail is tht first crank it will fire if I pump the gas pedal (still takes a bit of time), but if I crank it, stop, then re crank, it fires right up like it is supposed to. I have even tried to leave the key in the on position prior to first crank to let the fuel pressure pressurize. This did not seem to make a difference.

Can you here the fuel pump prime every time? Should make a humming noise then your turn the key to on.

How old is the fuel filter?
