The car does not start right away. You have to have to hold the key on start for 5 to 10 seconds before the car finally turns on

Your fuel pressure regulator could be leaking. Next time before starting, remove the vacuum hose from the pressure regulator at the intake side. If there is fuel present then that is what's causing your hard start. Replace it and you will be fine after that.
