bobapple Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hey everyone, it has not done this for a while, but I did a short journey in it today left it 20-30 mins to go to bank came back and it refused to start.This has happened before and I am noticing it does it on short journeys more. Say if the cars revs have only just dropped to a normal idle then switch it off it won't start again?. I used to think it might be a immobiliser issue, but today I managed to force it to start by pumping the throttle as I noticed every time I had my foot down it gave a little splutter of live, I thought I was going to flood to be honest. It coughed into live and all was well. So asked around and was told possible throttle position sensor or water temp sensor as it's happening more when the engine is barely hot. Sorry for the essay and probably bad gramma but thanks for reading. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
