I have a 53 plate Punto (I did post up a detailed history of my brief ownership but it disappeared into cyber-space, so I`ll stick to basics this time) Now the colder weather`s here, it`s struggling to start: it churns acouple of times, starts well then instantly dies. 2nd attempt, the same. Usually on the 3rd go I can catch it with the throttle and it then runs perfectly all day. What I`m wondering is, coiuld there be a sensor that`s telling the fuelling it`s warmer than it is so the mixture`s not quite as rich as it should be for a cold start? A bit like choke flaps not closing fully? I have looked at live data on my reader and nothing looks obviously wrong. Any ideas?
n.b. It`s had new battery, plugs, leads, coil pack, crank sensor, & timing is spot on.
