2 Questions...

I had said before that my car wasn't very easy to start and it took the key 10 seconds in the on position to start. Well I had thought it was like that when it was hot or cold but it only does it when it's cold. If I haven't had the car on for a day when I go to start it is takes a long time to turn on. If after that I have run it for a couple of minutes it will fire right up every additional time.
Any ideas?

My other question is... When I put it in reverse it takes a moment and makes a sound then makes a kind of clunk sound. It doesn't do it when i put it in any other gear. It's a 4 speed Automatic transmission.

If anyone could help that would be great!

Well, that almost sounds like the fuel pump is bleeding back down, but you wouldnt think it would take 10 seconds to get fuel back up there, which almost makes me think you might have something in your ignition that is giving you trouble. Maybe weak plugs or too cold a plug?? Im not sure, Sounds like your rear end clunk would be a bad U-joint in the driveshaft.
