The engine would turn over and crank and didn't even seem that slow when it was hot and eventually start.  That's why I originally assumed it was VP44.  It wasn't until I put on a new starter that I realized how much zippier it was than the old wore out one.

i think there is a minimum rpm for detonation to occur to start, temp relative too. so your symptoms are def the starter as you found. install that lift pump asap but be aware the vp still has a lot of miles on it from the oem tincan lift pump and may still die soon.
