barnsleydan Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Not a major problem but a bit annoying. My 1.8 zetec focus is a bit rubbish at starting on a morning or when its been left for a while. It just coughs and splutters. It starts up no problem with a bit of gas on which i have to do and it starts first time after its been run for a while. Any ideas what will sort it. Would a service do any good? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SierraYankee99 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 As suggested new plugs would help. Could also be leads breaking down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Since the problem seems to be with cold starting could it not be a faulty engine temperature sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
