Default Fuel Pump Problem

So, I am looking at a 95 Camaro Z28. It has about 8000 miles on a rebuiult engine. It runs GREAT! the only things needing replacement are a sway bar, and front seat cover. BUT...... while the engine runs great and it starts everytime, it has to turn over a couple more times than normal to start up. Like i said it runs fine and starts everytime, but it sounds bad at the start (embarrasing "bad", not like a broken "bad") and I was wondering what could the problem be. Thanks.

Checkt he fuel pump & press regulator to make sure the FI system is holding pressure after the engine is turned off. Try getting a good prime by cycling the ignition key off & on several times before attempting to start. If the engine starts OK after priming, then you have a system leak, could be a leaky injector, bad press regulator, bad fuel pump check valve, or an actual fuel leak.
