starting probs ! Help !
 
just gone to move my scooby, and it starts but only for between 1 and 5 seconds, after that it runs very lumpy at about 100rpm(estimate) or dies completely.
Any ideas ?
I drove home from work earlier, everything seemed fine, and left it parked for about an hour and a quarter. Now its doing this and im a bit worried!

Have you done a CEL leght check? Also from cold turn the ignition on and see if you can here the cooling fan working!

Cheers

check the MAF, disconnect it and try start again if it gone worse, then is have to be the MAF

could be the water temp sensor, if this is bust then cold starts are a big problem, if you can keep it running and it goes away when the engine is warm then its your water temp sensor.
