Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I have an irratic problem when trying to start the car. Most times it starts first time and runs no problem at all. Other times the engine does not 'turn over' when I turn the key but so far it always does eventually, sometimes after 10 - 15 times of leaving it for a few minutes then trying again. Any ideas / suggestions?

possible air leak some where along the lines of inlet vacuum pipe or even a fuel line letting the air in to the system
