    Default Vr starting issue

    My v6 vr has a strange starting issue.when the engine is cold and i turn the key it just turns over without firing.if i then turn the key back to start and try again it starts straight away. This happens every time, in other words it will only start on the second attempt.
    When the engine has warmed up there is no problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks, grazman.

    Check if it is the fuel pump by listening for it when first turning the ignition on - it should run for about 2 seconds to prime the fuel system.
