Default 3DR cold start problem!!

My 3dr has developed a cold start problem, when it has been sat over night or when its cooled down. When I try to start it it will not fire up unless I pump the throttle loads, once its started it runs fine! Ive changed the Map sensor and the cold start sensor at the back of the cyl head. Any ideas chaps? Cheers.

Does it start if you hold the throttle open?

I am think the TPS may need adjusting...

Assuming standard management, the TPS has a switch which should be open circuit when the throttle is closed, the ECU references this signal to activate it's idle and overrun strategies.

If it is not then this won't happen and so the ISCV wont operate correctly.
