Default MY04 STI NOT STARTING

I have an MY04 STI Spec C. The engine is cranking over and getting fuel at the normal running pressure but the engine isn't firing. Ive had the immobiliser bypassed and also changed the main ignition relay but im still having the same problem.

The car has done this a number of times and eventually fires and seams to only do it when its been started and run for a short period of time so isnt getting to full temperature. Only once has it not started when stone cold.

Any ideas people.

Any faults showing? When I had this on a classic STI (always started when cold but not always when warm) it was the crank shaft sensor. It was registering as a fault code.

I would have said fuel pump but judging from what you mentioned I guess you have a fuel pressure gauge which shows normal pressure?

Yeah got a fuel pressure regulator fitted. You can hear the pump prime and gauge is reading correct pressure. ive just ordered a new Cam sensor so will see if that sorts it.
