Noticed last night that when I turn the key,there is a half second delay before it will fire up.
There isn't any sort of clicking,just silence. Then it will start right up. Almost behaves like a dead battery.Car runs fine otherwise.
I'm going to check the battery,alternator and cables later. Anything else I should take a look at? Bad ignition switch,starter,etc? Car is stock.

I have done it both ways. Tonight it acted like nothing was wrong.Fired right up.Now tomorrow it will more than likely do it again and I will have to wait a few minutes and it usually starts up. Forgot to mention when it happens,all lights on the dash are out.

Hey guys,
I see there are two part numbers listed for GM and Ac Delco.The local auto parts store carries a Wells LS662 that will work,but I'm not that familiar with their part number. Anyone use the Wells brand? The only advantage I see now for the Wells is that I can just go pick it up. I am ordering both pigtails just in case I need them,so just getting the Ac Delco one may be ok since I can't really do anything until the wires get here anyways. Thoughts?

I am having the same issue. However mine only happens when the car has been sitting overnight. I'll turn the key to the on position and then to start position and wait up to 10 seconds sometimes before the car starts.
Did replacing the ignition switch fix the problem for you fuys?
