is the check engine light on?. i have seen long crank time be a weak/draining back fuel pump in the tank. could be a cam sensor or crank sensor. being everything is electronic makes it hard to diagnose over the chat room.

Default wrangler hard start

couple of suggestions. check the tune, plugs, wires. check compression. even though it's electronic, a lot is still the same old thing. so check the simple stuff. if that checks out, you might want to get it scanned. I believe the scan can check fuel pump pressure as well as the electronics. if it starts hard when cold, there is a circuit for cold starting that could be having trouble.
