that was my "problem of the week" this week.Do a search and you'll find tons of threads on the which lead to the same answers basically,like:
Flooded,foul plugs,bad/lose wires,dirty pump filter,fuel relay,etc.

Personally mine started pushed,but it was due to a wet crank sensor plug which made the car idle funny afterwords,but then only turned on whenever it wanted to because my FP relay was bad.Remove your plugs,remove egi and FP relay then turn the engine over(crank) 3 times for 10 scones at a time,that should solve the flooding issue.If it still doesn't start,get new plugs,chances are you need them anyway.If you replace plugs and it isn't flooded,check your FP relay,your FP voltage itself(correct me gurus),and make sure that crank sensor plug isn't wet.I hope it helps and good luck.Somene else will jump in with some suggestions.
