delayed crank 93 mark viii

[87TTOPGT420]

sometimes, mostly when the car is cold there is a delay from when i put the car in the crank position to when it actually cranks....sometimes a few seconds, sometimes 10 seconds...i noticed its slowly getting worse...where should i start looking...car cranks over perfect when it does crank...anyone else run into this problem? I was thinking maybe ignition switch..maybe even the anti theft in the lock cylinder...what do you guys think and where should i start?

there have been many problems with the "s-wire" on all ford vehicles (its the small wire going to the starter) they get corroded and ive seen a slight delay caused by this before, not to mention its virtually free to fix. just clean the connector or poss replace it if its too bad
