long cold start up
This issue started about 2-3 weeks ago and is slowly getting worse. When I start my jeep for the first time in more then maybe 5 hours, it will take a long time to crank over. I've tried replacing the spark plugs and wires, cleaning the throttle body, and changing gas stations. I have a 2009 2 door wrangler only mods are lift kit tires and drop in k n air filter. I do still have extended warranty but I'm just cheap and like to do it myself. Thanks

After taking off the battery terms and cleaning -- A quick battery test without any tools/meters is to use some jumper cables to another battery. If it solves the problem it's almost certainly the battery.

it wouldnt be the battery unless the starter isnt even spinning the engine.. is the engine spinning but just not firing? or do you just get a click.. then silence / long wait till the starter engages?
sounds exactly like either a slowly dying fuel pump, or as others have suggested fuel is draining out of the lines causing slow to start condition.
