The manufacturer doesn't supply a can of this stuff with the car when it's new - so don't use it.
It's ether-based, and therefore volatile, so causes extremely rapid cylinder/combustion chamber wear, as the engine is rapidly (rather than naturally), sprung into life. Poor compression then ensues.

Your engine should start reasonably well "as is" so it's best to investigate/remedy the problem.

This has puzzled me for years.... I know people use Easy Start, I also believe the engines get addicted/rely on it, but never understood how an engine can get addicted lmao...

Easy-Start pushers hanging about in garage doorways doing 'deals'.......cars having 'bad trips'......needing a 'fix'......and being steered in a downward-spiral, with addicted cars ending up sleeping rough on the streets!

Agreed with what kevin wood says.

This spray should be banned nasty stuff.

engine compressions are at fault.

why buy easy start? every time i get a non running diesel in, i simply remove the airbox squirt wd40 or duck oil/maintenance spray etc etc straight into the air intake hose, if it starts on it then i know it has a fuel problem, it also helps in cold weather starts and does NOT get the engine addicted to it!

Edit,

I actually used this trick 3 weeks ago on a jcb from the 80,s that had sat in a field for about twenty years after a house build was finished, they had been trying for days to get it going on diesel, but it just wouldnt go, wd40 down the intake and a gallon can of clean fuel with ahose stragiht into the injector pump, she rumbled into life amid great clouds of smoke!!

agreed.. there must be a problem.. if it was diesel I can understand but unleaded must start.. mine is 97 and I remember even at -15 celcius it starts without any isues (although last 2 years was not that cold) .. try a compression check imo..

Thanks guys I'm continuosly broadcasting approach hun colleague ! 
edit : he has a 2.5V6 Vectra with smaller cold-start problem but whereas I don't have experience thought asking you. Unfortunately there is a really arrogant and selfish head among hun Omi owners who absolute bored with teaching again and again and when helps you does like this : "USE GOOGLE AAAaaaaa ! " Luck that he is only one with this attitude but enough to reach beginners to not ask...

i use a butane torch rather than easy start,much less volatile.
