Advice, Information or Help
As in the title.......
Last couple of weeks the car has started to "play up" on starting. I've had a new battery so I no it's not that. Car is garaged overnight and it's not like it's been in the cold mornings.
When trying to start, the car won't fire up until I've depressed accelerator a couple of times and eventually it'll start. It's not just in the morning but everytime I go to start the car up same thing happens
I know it might be difficult from my description to give me idea's and some have said "plugs or fuel filter" other people I know have said "fuel pump"
Just wondered if any of you guys have had the same problem and what you did to sort the issue out
Car is a MY07 and has been serviced every May

So then used a little bit of throttle and it "fires up" on second turn over of engine.
Not sure thats the best way to explain it but it's the best way I can manage
Cheers

No black smoke fella!!! But I did leave the ignition on for 5-6secs before turning it all the way and fired up straight away without depressing the accelerator.
