Fuel injected engines are easy to start if very cold or very hot. It is the inbetween that they can be a pain. . Follow the POH recommended procedure. If it does not start in a reasonable time stop cranking and give the engine a big shot of prime. Now you will know the engine is flooded so crank it with the throttle wide open and the mixture ICO. Every engine will start everytime although it may take a bit of cranking. As the engine starts to fire smoothly pull back the throttle and bring up the mixture.
