Strange scenario today, went to the car this morning about 10am & tried to start the car. It turned over nicely but just wouldn't fire up, gave it half a dozen tries but she just wouldn't start so left it. Bear in mind it hadn't been started for couple of weeks & she lives outside at the minute, but she's always started straight away before. Anyway, went back after dinner ( 2pm ) & she fired up straight away, went for a 10mile run & she ran perfectly. Just can't understand why she wouldn't fire up the 1st time ?, & i never touched anything in between either. Any ideas guys ?

Could well be a bit of damp in the dissy cap.or cps sensor needs a bit of clean on the terminals

Car started fine today & ran all day perfectly, so bit of a mystery but will check the dizzy cap when get chance.
