Guest Cooderkey Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hi, I don't know the answer but, is there a way that you can track back to when the problem first started. I am assuming that you've owned the car for a while, with no problems, and now you have a problem. Did the problem start soon after you had the car serviced? If so, did they change they spark plugs, and are your plugs running too cold? ( Wrong plugs fitted ).? Is the thermostat staying closed or not opening fully. You could always take the thermostat out completely, and give it a good run, and see if it still has the bad starting problem. Just a couple of thoughts on the subject. Cheers, Burt.
