Welcome to the forum, I have heard of a ghost crank on some models, It's normal. The pcm has a crank timer, once the timer is activated, even if you release the key, it will continue to crank until the vehicle starts or the timer limit is reached. Usually on a cold start-up. Use a gage and double check fuel pressure.
