Yes, They actually wont pass your car inspection if it doesn't.

Could be your starter? What does it do exactly for those 3-5 seconds.

could possibly be a leak in the fuel system..try turnin on the key and letting it sit for about 2-3 sec than start it...give the fuel pump time to prime the system........im just suggesting, i have a 82 Blazer with a LS1 in it and ran into the same problems..ended up being a cracked hose...now she runs like a champ....For the guy that bought her
