b16 starting issues

Hello, i have a 96 civic with a B16A2 swap. (usdm Block with a JDM head) I believe the head is a year 92 or 93 have to double check but i know its a jdm head. Im having some starting issues when i try to start the car. At first i thought it was my main relay that was going bad but i replaced it with a new one and i am still having the same issues all fuses are fine.

I noticed that i have to wait about 5-7 seconds for the fuel pump to prime after turning the key on. if i don't wait it wont start, i have to wait till the engine light comes on and off. I also notice that sometimes when the car is cold i can start the engine fine on the first try. When it is warm it takes longer to start.

Is the ect sensor going bad? if so were can i obtain one for my b16 head since it is a jdm head.
