 When was the last time it had a tune-up and have you run any injection
cleaner through it? How many miles are on it?

Try this: Turn the key on, was about three seconds. Turn it off, then back
on and see if it will start quickly.

 Had the tune-up about a year ago, and it has about 110k on it. I hadn't
run any cleaners through it because I was under the impression that 99%
of the stuff sold was not any good. Or am I thinking of the wrong stuff
at the parts store?

 I had the same problem with a 2.5 Dakota 96 and i solve it by cleaning
the inyectors, at least 2 of them and the other 2 were replaced.

There are both good and bad ones out there and the best way to think of it
is that you get what you pay for. You don't have to look for the most
expensive one, just a name brand in the mid to upper price range. The
injectors may also be wearing out after 110k miles and not giving an optimum
spray pattern. I would try to clean them first and see if your starting
situation improves.
