Starting when cold

[edmundo205 0]

When i bought my corrado a year ago it started like an absolute dream wether it be cold or hot. Can anybody give me some standard reasons as to why it now takes its time to start when cold?? Sometimes it will start then cut out again before going the second time. Once it starts it runs like a dream.

 

Ive changed the distributor, distributor cap, rotor arm, spark plugs, leads and fuel filter in the last few months and it has really been doing it since then. Would the fact that ive been rather broke lately and cudnt afford to buy myself a descent distributor and so opted for a 50quid one have anything to do with it or are there some other things i can look at to solve the problem???!?

 

Some ideas would be lovely....cheers :D

What year is it? if it's late it could be an imobiliser // reader coil issue

 

Is the fuel pump after run working?
