    my 4runner takes forever to start, it cranks and eventually it'll start, i don't know if it's the fuel pump or something else, anybody know what it might be?

    Could be lots of things to make it crank for a while before starting.

    Simple stuff like fuel filter or corroded points/rotor (if it's got a distributor cap), maybe even just timing being a bit off, or a loose/corroded connection to something like the fuel pump or partially clogged carb jets/injectors (87s could go any number of ways for the fuel system).

    medium stuff like old battery, wires, plugs (gapping off or fouling)

    or something a little more major like ignition coil or fuel pump starting to go, but those seem like they'd also cause occasional stalling.
