After sitting for a while the car will hard start 5-10 secs.

Wish I could help you out. Have you tried asking over at S40soncepts.net?

Long crank before starting is the fpr. Like you I had checked the fpr and everything looked good. Finally changed the fpr out of desperation and it fixed the problem. They are quite expensive now though. I paid about $95 a few years ago and now they are $175+.
