spark plug and wires checked...??? ignition module???
clean up those battery poles and cables....a good solid steel brush should do the trick

Spark plugs changed twice and wire checked .... clean battery pole and wires with steel brush and also ran anthor ground from the battery to the body of the vehicle ....
Any more ideas fellas

try this, at the first start in the morning when or when u would usually get the problem
press the gas pedal right down then turn the key
if it starts there or faster than it would if u didnt press the gas pedal
it could be something to do with the fuel delivery
another thing would be to disconnect the fuel line, and turn on the ignition to see if the gas flows
there is a relay controlling the fuel pump and sometimes that plays the asss
but only do it when u most likely would have gotten the problem

the buzz, most likely is the fuel pump priming, usually it stays on for a few seconds then goes off
but i dont think it matters if u wait for it to go or not
i dont wait, i usually jus start one time
btw, i had the same problem last year

maybe you can get ur electrician to run a separate relay for the fuel pump
its quite simple and only takes about 10mins to do
when i did mine i paid 40$
dunno if thats the same price now
