long starting problem

Injector #7 was replaced last friday, since then i've put over 300 miles on my 99.5 450, 7.3 and since i got home, i've been having this starting issue. seems as though it cranks just fine, but takes a rediculous amount of time to actually start, and then when it finally does, it kinda coughs until it evens out.

heres the video (this wasn't as bad as it's been earlier tonight)

Doesnt sound like it takes too long. How many miles are on it? Sounds like a high mileage 7.3.

170K. it now takes at least twice as long as it did before the injector swap. and before, it would turn right over, now it seems as though it doesn't want to unless i hold the key in the start position

Any excessive smoke? What was the main reason for replacing it? Was it a dead skip?

no excessive smoke, usual on startup on cold mornings. the reason i questioned the injector was a knock, or i guess you could call it a skip and sure enough the contribution test showed #7 had failed.

this was a video of the skip
