95 Mack won't start

Have owned this truck for over 20 years so know it inside out.  Have had trouble starting it lately, crank it for 30 seconds and it won't go, crank again and it won't go. Turn key off and pump up injector pump and it'll fire up instantly. Just seemed strange.

Have now figured it out that if it doesn't start within the first 5 seconds of cranking, turn key right to off, try again and it'll fire right up.  Next time it might fire right up too.

So its almost like the fuel isn't getting turned on.

Its a 95 Mack with the E7 350.   Only thing I'm thinking is that its the computer or may be the voltage isn't right somewhere.  So it never leaves us stranded but the first time in the morning it may not start right away until you try a couple times and turn off the key all the way each time.

Any ideas???

TIA

My first thought was we were losing prime but have come to realize that we aren't.  As soon as you turn that key off and try again it'll fire right up or try one more time guaranteed.  You could crank it for 30 seconds and it'll never fire, you could do this 4 times and it'll never fire.  Turn key off and back on and crank a second and poof its running.
