Get your meter and test the battery at the battery post, at the battery clamp then at the starter 12V cable terminal to ground.
Not a slow crank, slow to catch. I would assume it is a fuel pressure problem, but sometimes it is slow to start even when I go to key position 2 before starting which should prime the fuel system. Car cranks over fine, but is slow to fire/catch, and stumbles into an idle. If I try starting and immediately stop (position 1) and then try again it 99% will start right up as it should with no hesitation. No codes, searched for any vacuum leaks and fixed the ones I found, changed cam sensor. Fuel filter will be done soon. I need to check the fuel rail for pressure after it's been sitting.

I don't want to thread jack, but yeah that's what I'm dealing with.
I made a thread on BimmerForums since it is probably not related to anything 318ti-specific: https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...8ti-Long-Crank
