Who has had Delay in "Wait to Start" light issue ?

Who has had Delay in "Wait to Start" light , delay in lift pump run when ignition is turned on ?



My delay seems to be about 4 seconds. Once the Wait to Start light comes on my truck will fire right up.



What was the cause and fix ?

I think it might be due to the ECM going through it's programmed procedures. Also the air heating elements have to warm the air for starting - part of the program.I have always waited for the wait to start light to clear before starting.

Not sure if light is different from 2004 but mine states to wait until light goes out before starting.
