Coldstart?
 
Hi all,
car has had a little trouble when starting last night and today. If it's left in the garage overnight or in the afternoon sun it starts wonderfully but otherwise it turns but wont fire a few times then fires up and drives superb.
Im guessing the best thing is just to have a look at the cold start, but has anyone had the same problem?
many thanks,
Andy

Has the start time temperature been cool, but not bitterly cold?... (say, around +3 to +5) Andy?

Come to think of it, it probably is that temp area when starting, little above that, max +8 i'd say Issimo. Have you had the same problem mate?

I know this will sound totally mad, but disconnect the cold start injector.

possibly leaking injectors hence the recommendation to unplug it

First question, did it start better with it disconnected?
