Question A long ignition time

I've had my 86 for about a year an 3 months now (30,000Km). The car takes more than usual to start. When i press on the ignition it feels like it wont start and then like 3-5 seconds later it starts. I have checked the battery, oil, and everything else. My car is an AT so there is no problem with me pressing the clutch.
Does anyone have a similar problem?
If so how did u fix it?

Thanks in Advance

Poor fuel ? Timing issue, ignition coils maybe going bad ? Can't imagine a faulty or worn plug just yet.

Is it worse with an empty tank of gas than it is with a full tank of gas? Is it worse first thing in the morning when it has been sitting overnight?

Are you waiting a couple seconds with ignition on before cranking? Fuel pump needs to prime a bit in this car I found.

Actually no specific time just most of the times. For example today it never happened, but last week it was happening all the time.

Hi!
Check main motor harness, located on the rear end of the engine near the battery. There are actually totally 3 harness located, you may check (or at least shake) all of them - i experienced the delay in starting my BRZ while i had problems with the biggest of 3 harness down there. But mine is stick.
Good luck!
