    It can be, I have stalled it and had a longer turn over before ignition. Very rare though and it is generally when I don't give enough gas when starting off.

    Do you use a Top Tier-grade detergent fuel? (Mobil/Exxon, BP, Shell, Valero, a few others)

    maybe you have fouling on the injectors or plugs? Throw 2 bottles of Chevron Techron cleaner in next time your tank is empty, then refuel and drive as normal. It’ll definitely clean the injectors and plugs. Worth a shot, it’ll cost you about $16 for a couple bottles.

    Yours push button start? Ive got a key in mine. Sometimes when i turn the key back too soon the first time , it takes much longer to start engine again the second time.

    Been doing that since new, i found it to be a bit strange. Just from my experience, all my vehicles started a little bit quicker than the taco.

    Have you had someone test the battery? With fuel injection engines just having enough power to turn over isn’t enough. The injectors need just a little more power to online.

    I stalled my lawnmower immediately after a cold start, took quite awhile to get it fired again after that.
