Omega General Help / Re: hard to start after several days of no use

Thanks for the detailed advice about the fpr. I have proven over the past couple of days that by turning on the ignition for 10 secs or so prior to starting then I get immediate firing - every time. So this seems to reinforce your theories about loss of pressure through either the fpr or an injector.
I have lost the car to my brother-in-law for a week, as soon as I get it back I will check out the pressure as suggested. If it is leaking away over a few hours I guess the next problem is to isolate whether it is an injector or the fpr. I do not think it is a fauly joint or leaking pipe - there is no smell of petrol or evidence of a leak.
Thanks again for the info - will post again when I have more info to share
