sounds like a starter/ solenoid, does it click when you first turn the key?

also check your battery connections

The only things that I can think of are loose or dirty connections from the Battery to the Starter Solenoid or an out of adjustment/faulty Starter Clutch Interlock Switch..

A weak Battery shouldn't cause this problem.. But it would cause a growling Starter start up...

That's what I "think".. I could be wrong..

That's the same exact problem I'm having the past few weeks. I turn my key all the way, but nothing until a second or two later it finally gets power or something.

check your main relay, it is not that it is delayed, it just looses contact there and does not send signal to the starter. my legend had the same problem, after two starters, one mechanic that told me i need a new ECM, i took the main relay out, and resoldered heat fatigued contacts on it. never had the problem again.
