As we have just got the car I am not sure if it is just me or the car.
Basically when we start the engine it cuts out almost immediately. This can go on for a few minutes. The only way I seem to be able to stop this is to rev the engine on starting above 3500k rev which I know is not good for any engine on a cold start. Is it just me or could it be the immobiliser cutting in or something(still confused by the way that Sigma thing works!!!) or is it the car.
Very puzzled.

Thanks

Pudge.

possibly could be engine immobiliser problem,a fault with the ignition key [if not gen part] transponder, or a fault with the mass air flow sensor, better get it checked out at a dealer or someone with a diagnostic unit, better now than at a roadside somewhere.
