Is it just from cold? or when hot as well? if its from cold could be temp switch not reading correctly and not bringing in cold start injector. if its from hot and cold could be fuel pressure. Battery weak will still crank but voltage drop to coil and ecu hence no spark straight away. does fuel pump prime on ign being turned on? if not no holding pressure car has to crank to pulse pump hence delay in start.Obviously thinking out loud here but may be worth checking that lot first. CHEERS ANDREW.

if timing was slightly out would it have an effect on starting?
