Problems starting/running!
My car is reluctant to start. Turns over but takes 3 x 10 seconds to fire. It has cut out in traffic shortly after leaving work. Seems to run smoothly once warm/idling. Any help appreciated

Coolant temp sensor? Might not be putting out voltages representing cold start/rich fuelling?

Agree with joz.
Classic symptoms of a faulty coolant temp sensor.

Does this mean that you've had a remap very recently??
If this is the case then it is likely that the map needs adjusting.
If on the other hand you have have changed nothing & the problem has just appeared from nowhere the coolant sensor is still favorite.

No adjustments to the map recently and the problem has just started, so hopefully not the map
Cheers
