Is This Normal?
Discussion
Up until yesterday. When I start my car ( T350 ). It goes through it's normal starting sequence and then it would take up to 15 seconds for the ( I think ) fuel pump to prime. And then bingo, I can then start her up. It happened once yesterday and again this morning where the fuel pump took a good few minutes and me making many attempts at trying to start her, even though I knew I couldn't hear the whirring noise that it generates. But that was just borne out of desperation and hope! As I said earlier she eventually started.
Is this a characteristic I should get used to or is there something about to go catastrophically wrong?

In my attempts to get her started. I tried a combination of at first just waiting patiently for the pump to prime. Then pressing the key fob, taking the key out of the ignition and going through the whole sequence many times! It eventually worked but my thoughts are that this should not be happening.
mine is a little bit random on if it does this. Pushing the alarm button on the key fob always seems to force the pump to prime. It depends how long you take to start once you unlock the car, the immobilizer comes on fairly quickly on mine, so the key fob disarms it and causes a prime.

Passive immobiliser arms after 10 secs of disarming the alarm, you need to push the button on the key or touch the fob thigimibob on the pad by the mirror buttonsj.
