If by your statement you mean" you have to crank the engine for 10 seconds before it finally starts", you fuel system is not holding pressure. Did you check pressure aftet shutting the engine down? Usually a bad check valve in the pump assy. but could be injectors leaking into the cylinders.

You can try this, Turn the key to on until you hear the fuel pump go off. do that a couople more times then see if it fires up right away. If it does you've got e leak.
