Default After sitting for 4 or 5 days....

the car takes about 5 seconds to start. I was thinking maybe the computer won't allow the car to start until there is oil pressure to the top of the motor? Is this correct? After driving I can turn the key and it fires right up. Thanks

As long as the motor spins at normal speed it's not the battery. Mine sat from Nov til a week ago and started instantly(I hate Wisconsin winters). Your fuel lines may be draining out and it takes a while for the fuel pump to refill them. Try turning the ignition to on for a few seconds before starting and see if it still does it.

yes, let the fuel pump prime before you try to crank the car.
