Default s2 cold start problems - advice needed

hi, as some of you may have read, for the last few days i have had a start-up problem on my s2.

in the morning, when i try to fire her up, she starts for a nano secont, then just cranks over....

there is no fuel at the injectors, unless i hold the flap slightly open on the metering unit, then she will splutter and backfire for a minute, cutting out or really struggleing to idle. then she will all of a sudden clear up, and all is ok

yesterday stu said he was 100% it was an air leak, but then it was fine so i didnt look... this morning it wouldnt start again, so i will check that now.


why would an air leak cause these symptons? any other suggestions?

any help mucho appreciated
