Weird issue just popped up, press credit, game starts up on first ball but does not register anything including flipper action, when the ball drains it advances to second ball and everything works?

There is a contact on the ball count unit that normally closes going from ball 0 to ball 1 and feeds the pf. Seems yours is only closing at ball 2. Gap the contactfor ball 1

As pinhead52 said check the ZERO POS "Ball Count Unit". Manually operate the unit and check the switch closes when not in zero position. Attached is a snippet of the schematic and the start up sequence.

Check the bulb. It might be a 55 flashing bulb that has failed.

Check the 6th position on the Ball Count unit and make sure the wiper is landing there on the rivet, and that it's clean.
