Default starting when warm problems

ok, next problem ive got.

from cold it starts straight up, only cranks over for a second but the idling is high and rough, it sounds like it misses a few times on tickover and splutters when i try to rev it.

when its been running a for while i'll turn it off, leave it for a few mins then try to start it up. it will fire then just crank without anything

ive disconnected the cold start, checked the auxillary air device, checked for vacuum leaks

when the ignitions on tho, the fuel pump clicks on now and again so could i have a leaking injector?

how u mean fuel pump clicks? It should prime when u turn the ignition on for a second. It could be too rich, seen this plenty of times. Or, not enough vacume depressing flap - see how much it moves when cranking.

it primes when i turn the ignition on, then it will intermittently prime again

the flap is ok

just wondering why it keeps priming....i didn't think the ke jetronic sensed a pressure drop ?
