hi guys!

as above really, start the car up and it dies instantly, revs roughly for about a minute and then will stay started after about 1 minute of revving!"

i have changed every sensor, earth etc.. going and the car still does it,, i do have oil where my spark plugs are though mind!

mate suggested timing,, the oil factor worries me though!

oil will be either spilled oil when filling up or a leaky rocker cover gasket, not the end of the world

i have the exact same problem....Its due to my mapped chipwizards ECU. I put another ECU in and it idles fine first time from cold. Try getting hold of a cheap ECU mate, worth a shot I guess although mine was fiddled with

unplug the CTS and start it up, see if it idles relativly well.

i say relatively as it defaults to 86 degrees so will be idling around 900 ish rpm and the ecu thinks it at op temp when its not.

But do it to see if it smooths it out
