Default my car has issues b18b civic

alright so i just had the swap done and it runs great but my problem is if the car sits for like 7-8 hours it has trouble starting back up it takes a long time and really pisses me off....not the battery because it was just replaced and it tries to start too couldnt be the alternator either i dont think because i can still turn the ready on and everything any insight would be helpful thanks

when you crank the car do you hear the fuel pump kick in?

^werd. When I'm running on empty it takes a few sec for mine to start up. Check ur fuel lines, fuel pressure, fuel filter, pretty much everythinng that involves fuel flow just to be safe.
