I have to hold key on in the start position for several minutes before engine will crank. Turning the key to start position nothing happens, I hold key in that position for several minutes before starter will crank the engine over.

Check the battery and connections if its good - try shorting out the starter motor if it cranks the egnine over w/o lagging-test the ignition switch
