car is takeing longer time to start

[shamal]

i have a 2004 Escalade which is having a start up issues that is when I start my car it may or may not start. so when i start the ignition i have to wait atleast 5 min. the time has started increasing day by day.

it is not only the cold start but whenever i start the car in the entire day.

what could be the cause

Check ignition relay and swap with any other relay just for test. If still same change CKPS (Crank Position Sensor). Good luck shamal.

It is CKPS for sure, cadi's are notorious for failing crank sensors.
