Hi Guys,

I've been having a delay from when I turn the key to when the starter begins to crank. At first I thought it was a very dead battery, but then I was holding it all the way over & about 5 seconds later it began cranking. The alt & battery are new. This has become a longer delay over the last week, especially after sitting over night. Today it took about 15 seconds. I thought for sure it was finished. The starter sounds fine & it grabs the flywheel no problem. Just a crazy delay. Is there some solenoid piece that can be causing this or a loose connection somewhere down the line? It is an I-4 conversion & I have not had any real problems that would relate to this.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks
