hard start after injector swap

[gotbl4d3]

Okay here is what is going on. My girlfriends car would randomly not fire on cylinder two every now and then. I narrowed it down that it was an injector not firing. So i swapped the stock ones out and swapped in a set of blue top 1g injectors. And problem solved hitting on all four cylinders and pulls strong. The only issue i am having now is that i have to crank it over more then usual to start up. Like a good cranking over the engine for three to five seconds before it fires up. I know you can swap 1g. Injectors in a 2nd gen and will still run just as great. But with this hard start has anybody had this sort of issue before after an injector swap like this. Please get back to me and let me know what this issue could. Any input on this issue is greatly appreciated.

I would check the fuel pressure regulator, and a fuel pressure test/ gauge might be helpful to see if your fuel pump is weak. I would start there.

Lots of missing information here. Forced to assume that your girlfriends car is a 2G.
Did you use new injector insulators when you changed the injectors?
Were the 1G injectors cleaned first or just sitting around and dropped in?

They bren sitting but sent them off and got cleaned and stufff
