Default Funny Starting Change?

Ok not a problem as of right now, but something has changed..

I usually jump in a turn the key straight to start. And it won't turn over. I have to back off and wait 2 seconds.

It doesn't bother me, its just something changed and im wondering if somethings about to go

No crank whatsoever? This was happening to me and it ended up being the starter.

Mine got "touchy", I redid the ground for both the battery and starter and no problems since. I installed new lug to a new spot on the frame with a self drilling bolt.

I'm not sure if the 95 is the same as a 96 but mine did this also. Hold the key when it doesn' start and see if it eventually cranks (about 5-7 seconds).

Every once in a while, I will get literall a half second pause before mine will crank, but it's never gotten any worse.
