The vt ss starts after persisting, some times it will start in five mins, turn it off and it could take me half and hour. Also trying to turn the car over somtimes I get no spark then I try again and it tries to kick over but cuts out. There is also a slight smell of fuel when starting the car.

Hi there, if you have lost ignition signal but still get injection pulse, I would star with checking the cam angle sensor, do a scan as well as this should give you a code for the problem as well.
