1991 Jeep Cherokee 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 167K miles

My jeep has a starting challenge. It cranks for up 30 seconds before it starts. I had an electrical problem with the tail lights fixed and the harmonic balancer replaced. After I got the car back it cranked for a lot longer before starting. Can you give me some direction on where to start looking to fix this problem.
Thanks,
Flyboy

Checked the crankshaft sensor and have plenty of continous spark on start. Could I have a fuel pressure problem. Where else would you look
Thanks

Have you checked the cam sensor (ignition control module)? It is under the distributor rotor. There are many ways to test these parts. It may pass one test and fail another.
