it seems to be better when it is warm but when it is cold, say first thing in the morning it turns over for ages before it fires, and even then i doesent start straight away! but then other times id go and start it in the morning and it will start straight away! strange and frustrating!!

Any one got any ideas where to start looking for the problem???

 

Mine does same thing ive found if when i get in car if i turn ignition lights on and let fuel pump prime leave it 20 secs then start it it start straight away weird but aint a clue why it do it prob cos it need setting up though...

 

mine has had the same problem to, i may try that leaving it for 20sec! it does smell rich in fuel when it starts up as well!!

 

Sounds like the car is running too much fuel and the plugs are fouling when the injectors do their initial pump! turn ignition on give it a quick turn over then take a plug out and see if it is soaked in fuel, if it is thats why your car takes ages to start, it removes excess fuel first

 

ile giv that a goa as well later then, gettin new engine in soon so not too fussed but still a bit annoying!!! cheers boyz
