Started the Panda up this morning, it started immediately, but then died instantly. Started again and it ran rough for about 5 seconds and was fine ever since.
I had disconnected the battery last night to clean the terminals with a new tool I got (they weren't really dirty anyway, just wanted to give it a go).
Any ideas what could cause this?
Only other symptoms the car has that have been ongoing is a back box/exhaust (somewhere) rattle that hasn't gotten any worse. Also, on a hot restart, it can crank for up to 3-4 seconds before starting. Only when warm really though.
First time it's had an issue like this for me.

Edit - I know the underside of the throttle body is still gummed up. I only cleaned what I could without taking it off the car. I didn't touch the IACV either. I wonder if this could affect it...
