cold start cutting out help please

Post by NJT »

just got a rev 1 n/a and everything was fine. left the car for about 7 hours then went to start it from cold. it fires then cuts out after a a few seconds. only way to keep it running is to rev it until it warms up then it runs no problems at all. is this a common problem thought it would be worth me asking before a start checking my self. any helps appriciated cheers

it'll be a cold start sensor...same happened to mine when i got it. I think there are 2 sensors, one at around £13 and one nearer £30.... typically mine was the more expensive one.
