Default ENGINE START UP DILEMMA

After servicing my 2000 C5 6spd, it went into a delayed starting mode, That is, You must hold the ignition key in the start position for a few seconds before it will make a sound, then after the guages return to rest position it starts normally.
There are no codes in the DIC and have a new 78P battery, I've tried another key and held down the clutch switch on the firewall but nothing changes.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME LOCATE THE PROBLEM, I have the Y2K manuals.

Bill, if the C-5 TECH sees this, he probably can help, but as for me I haven't a clue of how to solve your problem. :confused:

By the way, welcome to the Corvette Forum. :cheers:

I would pull the hot terminal off the battery, wait a minute or two, reattach. Here's a ttt for you.

Never heard of that :confused:
follow this link to get your codes https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=26&TopicID=1
and then if you can't troubleshoot using your service manuals, post the codes here and I'm sure someone can figure it out. :cheers:

Thanks Jim, for the welcome note, will advise if/when a fix is found, but with no codes displayed it's difficult.
