I recently replaced the fuel tank on my 04 corolla s due to it rusting on the edges and leaking. The fuel lines and pump is all the same, now my car is taking longer than usual to start, could be anywhere from 10-20 cranks before it'll turn over. I believe that the fuel line needs to be bleed of air, but I'm having trouble locating the Schrader Valve to do so, I am not even sure if that exists on corollas. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't think there is a Schrader in this vehicle. The air should purge through the injectors.

If it starts right up by spraying starting fluid into intake suspect fuel delivery.
Verify fuel pressure engine on and engine off.
