[DML] Re: ignition delay issue

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

This could be several things but the first thing that comes to mind 
is the ignition switch. Not the key lock mechanism but the actual 
electrical switch behind it. The symptom you explain is common of the 
switch. But, you have to disconnect it and perform some tests to 
isolate the problem. I would start performance testing at the start 
inhibit relay. Does the ignition switch activate it every time? Does 
the relay send power to the solenoid every time, etc., etc?
