Default Cranking issue following sensor replacement

I recently had to have the sending units in both gas tanks replaced. Since then my car will not crank on the first try. It has always turned over on the first try. I took it back to the dealership where it has been maintained since i purchased the car brand new. They dont seem to think there's a problem. Have you ever encountered this problem before?
I have a 2001 with less than 100,000 miles.
Thanks for your assistance.

The engine turns over but won't catch. Release try again it may start the second time, sometimes takes 3 tries.
Have not noted anything happening with security light. Never had this problem prior to sensor replacement. Thought maybe it had to do with pressure issue getting gas to engine after new units installed.
