Question 99 S10 has a delay....

My truck has a short in it. I've noticed this delay for the past few months.
Takes a few seconds when I'm cranking it, then it finally starts. Could it
be the alternator that I need replaced? It's not the battery, cause I'm getting plenty of juice.

longer than normal , starting of the engine could be fuel delivery. fuel filter, old plugs. high resistance plug wires / weak spark , worn distributor cap/rotor.

I would guess a weak spark would cause a longer than normal cranking before start.

just to be sure have the battery LOAD tested .a weak battery will cause poor spark also.
