and runs a bit rough at first.
As the title says, fine when its cold, fires straight up, idles fine. Say if i am driving and the engine is warm, ive stalled it and the car will not start up straight up, so much so i drained the battery trying to. (lucky i have a booster pack in the boot) If i leave it for 5-10mins it will fire up after quite a few cranks as the starter seems a bit hesitant/sticky and seems to run a bit lumpy, give it a few mins and its fine again, runs fine.
I dont think the battery is the best as its flat some mornings when i come out if its a cold night, (reason for the booster pack) and plan on getting a new one when i get paid. Ive changed the water thermo sensor thinking it might be that, checked timing, fuelling and fuel pressure seems fine. The plugs/leads/dizzy cap and rotor arm have all been replaced recently. Seems to run a bit lean on the wideband 16-17 at idle, but driving its all good.
I am at a bit of a loss at what the issue could be, any help would be much appreciated.
