Re: ignition

I would say that your fuel pump is starting to go. When you put the key in the run position, the fuel pump runs for 2 seconds. When you turn it off and then put it back in the run position, it runs for 2 more seconds. So it's probably your pump. Do a fuel pressure test. Try turning the key off, then on (with out cranking it) and then off then on, then crank it. See if it will start right up.
