Hey Guys, my 3.6-liter V6 in my 2015 Cadillac CTS is having issues starting.

no check engine lights have come on. The issue is mostly apparent when my car is warm. it takes a couple addtional seconds to start my car... its cranking (not an issue with my starter)

So it cranks for an addtional 2-5 seconds. once the car starts... from what i can tell... the car drives perfectly normal... any ideas on what could fix this issue? what may be the problem?

Hello, you may still want to have your car scanned at any auto parts store for any pending codes. Scanners are also relatively cheap on Amazon for about $20. Usually long cranking when warm would point to an EVAP issue or a fuel system issue.
