1- I turn the key
2- Theres a 5-10 second delay before car actually starts

However, during this delay the car does not turn over at all or attempt to crank. The lights inside stay lit. But the car doesnt start! When the car actually does start, it starts like it would normally, it idels perfectly and runs without any problems. Please help cuz its really starting to worry me.
So, the gauge lights all stay on, and as long as you keep holding the key down, in 5 seconds it begins to try to crank? My guess would be ignition switch.
