Like DNY BOY said, fuel pump could be going.

Because it sounds like the fuel pump isn't priming, that's why it takes 30 seconds or so till it runs fine.

yea spot on mate, like you start it then the car has a varied firing and then goes up to warm up idle? when the cars cold, turn key to reds dont turn all the way wait untll check light turns off youll hear the pump prime and 'click' then start you car.

3 times? as in you turn the key on and off? or are you pushing the pedal? Hows your dizzy / dizzy cap? Do you hear the actual click for the pump? Does the car make a high pitched pinging noise when you drive (like the morning after clubbing)? Does your engine check light come on?

key turns reds on and off 3 times, no pushing of the pedal unless needed, dizzy seems fine, pump clicks and you hear it run, im running a 255 walbro pump, engine light goes off as normal

so you are running walbro , interesting i had an issue like this a few years ago where on low fuel levels the FPR was having issues. Is your fuel below quarter ? Are you running D or B? and is FPR stock?
