Default MK5 ESCORT 1.8 16V ZETEC (starting problems, help me!!)

Well new car new problems, when i first got the car it was fine. two days later and in the mornings i go to start it. it trys to fire up then just turns over for ages, then eventually after 5mins of trying it starts. after its starter it dosen't run lumpy or anything like that.

then when it gets warm it starts first time. well thats what i thought anyway. but today i went to get the tracking done and i stopped the car for 5 mins to wait for an available ramp. then it wouldn't start for ages again

i have changed the leads and plugs. HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. COULD IT BE A FUEL PUMP RELAY PROBLEM? A COLD START VALVE PROBLEM? OR WORSE?. the engine is completely standard too so it can't be mods mucking it about.


THIS NEEDS TO BE SORTED AS I START WORK AT 5.30 EVERY MORNING AND I WORK 20 MILES AWAY. I'M SCARED IT WON'T WORK FOR ME.
