Hi...does anyone have an idea whats wrong with my car...start from cold i have no issues, car runs great but only sometimes! Say if i stop to get petrol, engine warm, fire her up again its slightly slow on the starter and when it does start the idle is weird 200-400rpm/stalling...not good on busy junctions or roundabouts...any advice would be great!!

 

All my starting and cutting out issues were down to a ****ed MAF, id check that 1st.

 

Did it show up on diagnostics for ya?

 

Well, originally yea, then I replaced it and the error never went away so I assumed it was something else and just ignored the error.
Then it got really bad, replaced with another MAF and now problems are solved and the error has also not returned.
You getting any errors on diagnostics?

 

Haven't taken it yet...i cleaned the solonoid valve that sits on the throttle body near intercooler..been fine for a month then it came back tonight...annoying!!

 

ECU coolant sensor, well known for hot starting issues

 

Would that throw a check engine light? because i havnt got any.thanks

 

Probably not, do a search there is lot out there on this.

 

Will do.thanks

 

Problem was a weak fuel pump!!! Sorted
