Some help please. I normally start from cold without touching the throttle. Most times now it will only start if I open the throttle. Starting from hot is normal as is the general performance. Year 2000 and mileage 65,000
Thanks Roy

Thanks BIGGUNS all the routine serviceing is up to date
if all of the ignition is in order, suggests the mixture is too lean, faulty coolant temp sensor.
There are two sensors on the coolant elbow, the bottom one is for the temp gauge, the uppermost for the ecu to determine fuel mixture relative to engine temperature.

Thanks for your replies Bigguns. Resetting the stepper/ IAC seems to have cured it.
