My bet is that it's not getting an immediate 12V. This would confirm that the starter.........and any grounds.......are not the issue.
The electrical portion of the switch, itself, is the next suspect.

I will put a meter on that small wire on the solenoid and see what happens..I believe it will confirm no problem with starter.
Regarding your suggestion about the ignition switch, and the fact that the delay occurs in either park or neutral (confirming it is not the neut. safety switch),then the only other possible source of the problem is the ignition switch. I looked on the Fastlane parts site and, in fact, there is a replaceable part of the ignition switch actually called the "electrical portion"...for only $27.....there is a picture of this bad boy there...I am almost inclined to order one right now....but first, I will pry off the connector and see if any of the connections have the notorious "green crud" ...that would be nice to see...a real smoking gun. If all the pins look good, I would bet on internal problem, and a replacement part will be on the way.
That item looks like it might be a real bear to install, but I will get a look-see this morning.
Thanks a lot Brian.
