the car took about 4 or 5 turns to start today obv with snow this is good
it has just ran mint for half hour covering 15 miles
pulled up and swiched it off not thinking it would start again as it has done previous
it fired streight up
so i knocked it off streight away and tryed again and yep fired streight away
i have not run the car for 4 days
as last time i run it was last tue so car has stood for 5 days
the last time i run it it took ages to start turning over for like a minute
i drove 2 mile (5 mins)
stopped at the petrol station
put fuel in
went to start i was cranking over for like 30 seconds before starting
this was the jurney home from work
same day going to work just rememberd took a while to start in the morning
drove to work 3 mile 5 - 10 mins quite warm
and i stalled it in the carpark
and it refuesd to fire back up again
cant figure out why it worked today
but this is sending me crazy
any ideas peeps cheers

As per your last thread, I think your pump timing has slipped.
