Default Hard start after changing lower intake gasket

Replaced lower intake gasket on 4.0 v6. While at it noticed leakage around fuel injectors so replaced o rings. Now it cranks and cranks coughs and spits eventually starts and runs fine when it starts. Any ideas if I missed something when putting back together?

Default Re: Hard start after changing lower intake gasket

Hate to say but maybe need to tear down again to confirm nothing in the way all the bolts should be the same in length, i recently changed valve covers and I think I broke the camshaft sensor not sure. moving wires to gain more room. its tricky to get fuel injectors all in. I noticed that the bolts to hold the injectors were a little loose so I used RTV on threads hoping they they stay snug. best to luck
