Since my car was serviced i have had starting problems car fires up but engine dies it seems there is no choke i have replaced stepper motor temp sensor and bit the bullet took it to my local main dealer who said was wax stat valve ran fine for few days now playing up again?
when car is warm runs fine no problems and starts fine but when left over night won't run needs to keep foot on gass for a minute or two then fine this is really driving me crazy any ideas??
Starting to think maybe some electrical problem maybe loose wire which has been disturbed be really gratefull for some help as selling car to a mate and thought was all sorted.

First and cheapest thing to do is reset the ECU- look around online for how to or ask your local dealer- the ECU can fill with codes and needs cleared- my idle was lumpy when cold and was "pinking" when hot and clearing the ECU fixed it.
