my camaro won't start hi
I'm having a problem with my 2002 camaro
my problem is that I have to turn the key for 1-2 min untill it start
this happen most of the time and I just have to wait until it turn on
I changed the ignition switch, check the battery but the problem isn't going
what do you think it might be the problem

more info please, will it just turn over for a minute and then start, or does it not make contact and do nothing? does the starter sound strained? details, chief... details. where do you live by the way.

while the key is turn on ,it does nothing for 1-2 min then start suddenlly
nothing happen when I turn the key on, only the gages turn off, which mean there is a contact
I didn't check fuel pressure nor changed fuel filter
I'll have to check it tomorrow
sorry but I'm not so good in English , I'm from Saudi Arabia

i think i know what is happening. try this, it may be as simple as the starter fuse in the cabin fuse box is bad. just take out the fuse labeled something like stater 2 or ignition. take that fuse out altogether and turn the key. if that works then you need to replace the ignition relay. it'll either be a ten amp or a three amp fuse.
this happened to me at work one night. the truck would kill the gauges and stereo, then do nothing as if it were turning over. all i did was pull out the ignition fuses, and the truck just started. you will hear some strange noises, all you have to do is put the fuses back in to make the beeps stop.

I tried removing the starter fuse and tried to turn it on but nothing happened, and the lights didn't even go off
1-2 minutes....damn thats a long time to crank that starter. You're gonna be buying a new starter if you keep doing that.
Did this start "all of a sudden"...or has it been slowly building up to this over time.

Note: the engine will not crank for whole time "1-2 min.", I just hold the key at the "on position" and nothing happens for "1-2 min.", and after that the engine starts to crank and it would start right away
I hope I made it clear this time

Yes. That is much clearer, thank you. It sounds to me like the lock cylinder in the ignition mechanism is not making contact. When you replaced the atarter switch, what was replaced? What I mean is did you replace only the starter switch or the lock and ignition cylinders at the same time? When you get a chance try this: either try to turn the key very slowly in the ignition or try to move the key around in the cylinder if that doesn't work.

after watching the video several times... i'm stumped. i've never seen a car do that before. the only suggestion that i can make is to get a new key cut from the VIN number of your car (or the key code engraved onto the ignition cylinder in the picture above) - an oem rounded key, not like the one you have now.

Get yourself a new key, the resistor in the key could be wacked.
