My 02 Regal cranks for about 5 seconds or so before starting. The motor seems to run and idle fine after starting. I recently replaced the fuel filter and had a new catalitic converter replaced. The car has 100k miles on it. There are no diagnostic lights on in the dash. I only owned it for about a year so I don't know any previous service done on this vehicle. The key doesn't want to come out often when I turn off the car. I don't know if the two things are related or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
