    Starting Problem

    after replacing a few sensors and other things on the car, and the problem still being there (better though) im pretty sure the problem im having is down to temperature

    could it be my chip at all ?

    when the temp gauge in the car reads 25c it starts easy, pretty easy at 20c, a little hesitant at 15c, and a bit of an arse at times below 15c, below 10c can be a right cunt sometimes

    ive replaced the coolant temp sensor and the air temp sensor, any other temp sensors i could replace ???

    It could be the ECU mapping but I wouldn't think so.

    Is the throttle body clean and the spark plugs OK?

    Does it work ok if you give it a bit of throttle when you start it?

    throttle doesnt seem to make much difference though i think it does help getting it started in the end

    once its started it runs sweet as a nut, idles spot on

    throttle body is clean and the plugs/leads/dizzi cap/rotor arm/dizzi are all brand new items
