or do you guys just put the key and turn it al the way to crank right away?

I just turn the key all the way right away.
How do I let the gas pump do its job?

I've heard people recommend keeping the key at the "on" position for 3-5 seconds and then starting, allowing all the electrical systems(and the gas pump) to fully start before cranking.

I'm at 73k miles and I just turn straight to start(crank) and go, every time.

When a car sputters I can't help but think fuel filter. But then I don't claim to be a mechanic.
