For the past year I have been having starting problems, from cold only when it's damp (which isn't all that often here at present - except for today that is, when I'm trying to fix it).
The engine will crank fine but the interesting thing is that it will give a couple of death throws only when the starter is disengaged, but it won't start.
Now this sometimes happens after sitting at the lights. When you go to move off it can cough, splutter and die! I can normally get it going again after a lot of cranking but it can be very embarrassing.
Well today it decided that it had had enough and refuses to roar into life.
I have changed the Air Map Sensor, checked all the wiring connections and renewed the distributer cap/HT leads ( this is the one with the molded cap/leads) to no avail.
Maybe there is someone who has experienced a similar fault that may be able to shed some light on it. Would be please if you could share it..
