A 2000 Firebird with a 3.8-liter engine cranking for several seconds before starting could be due to several factors. Possible causes include a weak or failing fuel pump that struggles to build pressure, a clogged fuel filter, or issues with the ignition system, such as worn spark plugs or ignition coils. Additionally, a malfunctioning sensor, like the crankshaft or camshaft position sensor, could also delay the starting process. Diagnosing the issue may require checking fuel pressure, spark, and sensor functionality.

You need a battery. There's a very small chance it could be something else, but from the symptoms you describe it is more than likely a bad battery.
