Recently, it is taking up to 4 minutes for the computer to say "OK, you can start the engine now". All the instrument panel lamps, sans the seat belt lamp, remain out for an extended period of time. Once illuminated, start and operation are indeed NORMAL. As bad as the 240 6cyl. diesel I had to get started.

All tricks, hints, suggestions and magic wands greatly appreciated.
