Default Hard to start

Hi all. I have a really annoying problem that I can't seem to cure. The Car is an Escort; but, it is running the engine, loom, ecu, and running gear from a 2wd Saff, hence why I thought it should go in here!
The car; when hot or cold, usually turns over for a good 5-10 seconds before it will fire and start. Maybe 1 in 15 times it will start on the button. The saff that I pulled everything out of started on the button; even after being sat for a couple of months!
The only things I have changed since doing the conversion are the injectors and chip; however I have tried the old chip and it made no difference. The injectors were bought second hand and I am told they were reconditioned, plus the car drives perfectly so I have no reason to doubt them atm.
I have changed the cps, ect, act, coil, plugs and checked and double checked the wiring and am now completely stumped!!!!!
Please help.
Matt.
