Mine does the same thing. Mine also is an 86 22re
One day (dont know what I was doing) but I held the key in the start position (with my foot off the clutch and the clutch cancel switch off) and I was in my garage and I could hear the fuel pump working then it got louder then it got to the normal "loudness" that it should be at. Then I pressed the clutch start cancel button and it turned right on. Pretty much I dont know what it is but if you hold the key (at least in my occasion) for like 5 seconds then push in the clutch/button it should start right up. Another 86 22re I worked on had the same problem also.
